Programme Miniworkshop

"Exceptional and ubiquitous Painlevé equations for Physics"

The miniworkshop from August 16th to August 18th will gather mathematicians and physicists to discuss the geometrical approach to Painlevé differential and difference equations. In particular the occurence of discrete groups of symmetries related to the exceptional Lie group E8 and connections to nonlinear integrable systems will be adressed. Solutions of Painlevé equations have appeared in many places over the years. Recently they were found in supersymmetric gauge theories and in topological string theory. A number of presentations will be introductory others will cover recent quantization, deformation and discretization issues. Exchanges will continue during the following week of the LPTENS Summer Institute.
