On the crystal limit of the q-difference sixth Painlevé equation

Abstract

We consider the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence associated with the $q$-difference sixth Painlevé equation in the crystal limit, i.e. $q\to 0$, and show two main results. First, the limit of this generically highly transcendental mapping is shown to exist. Second, we show that the limiting map is bi-rational and describe it explicitly.
