Abstract

These lectures serve as an introduction into the Riemann-Hilbert monodromy problem. Our main aim is to relate known completely integrable systems with isomonodromy deformation. We describe Schlesinger isomonodromy deformation equations for Fuchsian linear differential equations and their connection with Painlevé transcendents. Moreover it is shown that all the one-dimensional classical completely integrable systems, connected with commuting matrix differential operators, can be represented as simplified Schlesinger systems. We generalize isomonodromy deformation equations for the case of two-dimensional systems. This way arise Painlevé type equations in one space and one time situation. The last part of the lectures is devoted to Riemann boundary value problem. It is explained, how using boundary problem for analytic function on a Riemann surface of finite genus one can solve classical multidimensional isospectral and isomonodromy deformation equations. Examples of so called Bakes’s functions are given.
