Abstract: We analyze in detail three classes of isomondromy deformation problems associated with integrable systems. The first two are related to the scaling invariance of the $nimesn$ AKNS hierarchies and the Gel'fand-Dikii hierarchies. The third arises in string theory as the representation of the Heisenberg group by $[(L^{k/n}{)}_{+},L]=I$ where $L$ is an $n^{th}$ order scalar differential operator. The monodromy data is constructed in each case; the inverse monodromy problem is solved as a Riemann-Hilbert problem; and a simple proof of the Painlev'e property is given for the general case

Review text

The authors consider three classes of deformation problems associated with integrable systems. The first two are related to the scaling invariance of the \(n\times n\) AKNS hierarchies and Gel'fand-Dikij hierarchies. The corresponding isomonodromy equations are generally of order greater than 2, so they are not the classical Painlevé transcendents. However they do have the Painlevé property, in fact the stronger property that any solution has a single-valued meromorphic extension to the entire plane. The third class of monodromy problems considered in the paper is connected with the equation of \textit{M. R. Douglas} [Phys. Lett. B 238, 176-180 (1990)] in two-dimensional quantum gravity. These problems are obtained by replacing \(\dot L\) by \(\hbar I\) in the Lax equation for the Gel'fand-Dikij hierarchies. The monodromy data is constructed in each case.
