ABSTRACTS:

Chang-Shou Lin: "Mean field equations, isomonodromic deformation and Painleve VI" Recently we discovered the connection of bubbling phenomena with solutions of Painleve VI. I will talk about this connection and other developments.

Martin Guest: "Painleve III: the geometry of the solutions" This is part of a project to study nonlinear pde related to geometry/physics, by using integrable systems methods as well as pde methods. In this talk we use the radial sinh-Gordon equation (Painleve III equation) as a basic example. By combining local and global information, we build a complete picture of the behaviour of all solutions. This is joint work with Claus Hertling (University of Mannheim).

Takashi Takebe: "Dispersionless integrable hierarchies and Loewner equations" Dispersionless integrable hierarchies are a class of integrable systems obtained as quasi-classical limits of integrable hierarchies like the KP hierarchy, the Toda lattice hierarchies and so on. It turned out that Loewner type equations in complex analysis appear from the reduction of dispersionless integrable hierarchies. Examples of this phenomenon are presented.
