Abstract.

The UC hierarchy is an extension of the KP hierarchy, which possesses not only an infinite set of positive time evolutions but also that of negative ones. Through a similarity reduction we derive from the UC hierarchy a class of the Schlesinger systems including the Garnier system and the sixth Painlevé equation, which describes the monodromy preserving deformations of Fuchsian linear differential equations with certain spectral types. We also present a unified formulation of the above Schlesinger systems as a canonical Hamiltonian system whose Hamiltonian functions are polynomials in the canonical variables.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Hidetaka Sakai for his helpful comments on Hamiltonian structure of the Schlesinger systems and informing me about the article [Phys. D 1 (1980), 80–158]. I also greatly appreciate illuminating discussions with Yasuhiro Ohta and Takao Suzuki. This work was partly conducted during my stay in the Issac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the program “Discrete Integrable Systems” (2009).
