Description

An intriguing conjecture by Shapiro and Tater (2014) relates symptotically the poles of algebraic solutions of Painlevé 2 and the degenerate spectrum of an eigenvalue problem for a 2nd oder ODE with quartic potential. In this talk we discuss the link between the Shapiro-Tater conjecture and the isomonodromic formulation of P2 and our work towards proving the conjecture using the exact WKB method. This talk is based on ongoing research.
