Hamiltonian representation of isomonodromic deformations of general rational connections on $\mathfrak{gl}_2(\mathbb{C})$ (2212.04833v6)

Abstract: In this paper, we study and build the Hamiltonian system attached to any $\mathfrak{gl}_2(\mathbb{C})$ meromorphic connection with arbitrary number of non-ramified poles of arbitrary degrees. In particular, we propose the Lax pairs and Hamiltonian evolutions expressed in terms of irregular times and monodromies associated to the poles as well as $g$ Darboux coordinates defined as the apparent singularities arising in the oper gauge. Moreover, we also provide a reduction of the isomonodromic deformations to a subset of $g$ non-trivial isomonodromic deformations. This reduction is equivalent to a map reducing the set of irregular times to only $g$ non-trivial isomonodromic times. We apply our construction to all cases where the associated spectral curve has genus 1 and recover the standard Painlev\'{e} equations. We finally make the connection with the topological recursion and the quantization of classical spectral curve from this perspective.
