Dynamics and Algebraic Analysis of Painlevé equations
Summary Algebraic geometry and moduli theory of Painlevé equations are combined with ergodic theory of birational maps on complex surfaces via Riemann-Hilbert correspondence to reveal chaotic nature of the dynamics of the sixth Painlevé equation. The main subject of this talk is the qualitative study of Painlevé equations focusing on the dynamical complexity of their trajectories, while the recent interests of the field are mainly in the aspects of integrable systems.
Key Words Painlevé equations, algebraic geometry, moduli spaces, monodromy, birational maps, ergodic theory, chaos, periodic points

Special functions and linear algebraic ordinary differential equations
Summary We give a unified interpretation of confluence, contiguity relation and Katz's middle convolutions for linear ordinary differential equations with polynomial coefficients. The integral representation and series expansion of their solutions are also within our interpretation. As applications to Fuchsian differential equations, we construct a universal model of Fuchsian differential equations with a given spectral type, in particular, we construct single ordinary differential equations without apparent singularities corresponding to the rigid local systems, whose existence was an open problem presented by Katz. Furthermore we obtain an explicit solution of the connection problem for the rigid Fuchsian differential equations. We give examples calculated by our fractional calculus.
Key Words Fuchsian differential equation, middle convolution, connection problem, special function, Riemann scheme
