(*) to be confirmed
The study of isomonodromic deformation equations is currently in very active development, motivated by the central role of such equations in a number of areas of quantum and statistical physics. The main domains to which this approach is applicable are:
  1. Computation of correlation functions in quantum integrable systems and lattice models of statistical physics;
  2. The spectral theory of random matrices, with applications to quantum gravity;
  3. Topological field theory, with applications to solution of the DVVW equations through the theory of Frobenius manifolds;
  4. Scaling reductions of classical integrable systems.
