The elliptic representation of the general Painlevé VI equation (Q4790282)

The author studies the elliptic representation of the sixth Painlevé equation \[ \begin{multlined} {d^2y\over dx^2}= {1\over 2} \Biggl[{1\over y}+ {1\over y-1}+{1\over y-x}\Biggr] \Biggl({dy\over dx}\Biggr)^2- \Biggl[{1\over x}+ {1\over x-1}+ {1\over y-x}\Biggr]\,{dy\over dx}+\\ {y(y-1)(y- x)\over x^2(x- 1)^2} \Biggl[\alpha+ \beta{x\over y^2}+ \gamma{x-1\over (y-1)^2}+ \delta {x(x-1)\over (y- x)^2}\Biggr].\end{multlined} \] He solves the connection problem for generic values of \(\alpha\), \(\beta\), \(\gamma\), and \(\delta\) and for the special case \(\beta= \gamma= 1-2\delta= 0\), which is important in two-dimensional topological field theory.
