Abstract: We find and study coupled Painlev'e II systems in dimension 4, which can be obtained by a degeneration from the systems of type A4(1). We compare these systems with other types of coupled Painlev'e II systems from the viewpoint of the local index. We also give the phase spaces for these systems.


The author studies a 2-parameter family of fourth order algebraic ordinary differential equations which can be viewed as coupled Painlevé II systems in dimension 4. The system is obtained by the degeneration from a 4-parameter family of fourth order coupled Painlevé IV systems of type \(A^{(1)}_4\) in dimension 4 introduced by Noumi and Yamada. The differential system is equivalent to a Hamiltonian system with the Hamiltonian given by \[ H=y^2/2-(x^2+t/2)y-\alpha_1 x+w^2/2-(z^2+t/2)w-\alpha_2z+yw, \] which can be written as a combination of Hamiltonians for the second Painlevé equation \[ H=H_{II}(x,y,t;\alpha_1)+H_{II}(z,w,t;\alpha_2)+yw, \] where \(x,\;y,\;z\) and \(w\) are complex-valued functions of the independent complex variable \(t\) and \(\alpha_1,\;\alpha_2\) are arbitrary complex parameters. The system is invariant under transformations which define a representation of the affine Weyl group of type \(C_2^{(1)}\). This system is compared by using the local index with another type of coupled Painlevé II system in dimension 4 derived as reduction of the Drinfeld-Sokolov hierarchy of type \(C_2^{(1)}\). The phase space for the system is studied by resolving the accessible singularities of the system and it is shown that it is obtained by gluing 10 copies of \(\mathbb{C}^4\times \mathbb{C}\) by means of (explicit) symplectic transformations. For each coordinate system, the Hamiltonian is given explicitly and it is a polynomial in local coordinates.
