Abstract: It is well known that the sixth Painlev'e equation PVI admits a group of B"acklund transformations which is isomorphic to the affine Weyl group of type mathrmD4(1). Although various aspects of this unexpectedly large symmetry have been discussed by many authors, there still remains a basic problem yet to be considered, that is, the problem of characterizing the B"acklund transformations in terms of Riemann-Hilbert correspondence. In this direction, we show that the B"acklund transformations are just the pull-back of very simple transformations on the moduli of monodromy representations by the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence. This result gives a natural and clear picture of the B"acklund transformations. Key words: B"acklund transformation, the sixth Painlev'e equation, Riemann-Hilbert correspondence, isomonodromic deformation, affine Weyl group of type mathrmD4(1).
