Parametric Stokes phenomenon for the second Painlevé equation with a large parameter

Abstract

The second Painlevé equation with a large parameter ($P_{II}$) is analyzed by using the exact WKB analysis. The purpose of this study is to investigate the problem of the degeneration of $P$-Stokes geometry of ($P_{II}$), which relates to a kind of Stokes phenomena for asymptotic (formal) solutions of ($P_{II}$). We call this Stokes phenomenon a "parametric Stokes phenomenon". We formulate the connection formula for this Stokes phenomenon, and confirm it in two ways: the first one is by computing the "Voros coefficient" of ($P_{II}$), and the second one is by using the isomonodromic deformation theory. Our main claim is that the connection formulas derived by these two completely different methods coincide.
