Exact WKB and abelianization for the \(T_3\) equation (Q2216212)

The authors describe the exact WKB method from the viewpoint of abelenization , for Schrödinger operators as well as for their higher- order analogues. The authors find a new example, which is defined as ``\(T_3\) equation'' which is in fact a trice- punctured sphere, with regular singularities at the punctures. In this case, one show, the exact WKB analysis leads for consideration of a new sort of Darboux coordinate system on a moduli space of flat SL(3) connections. The authors give the simplest example of such a coordinate system, and verify numerically that in these coordinates the monodromy of the \(T_3\) equation has the expected asymptotic properties. One also briefly revisit the Schrodinger equation equation with cubic potential and the Mathieu equation from the point of view of abelenization.
