Painlevé III: A Case Study in the Geometry of Meromorphic Connections

The purpose of this monograph is two-fold:  it introduces a conceptual language for the geometrical objects underlying Painlevé equations,  and it offers new results on a particular Painlevé III equation of type  PIII (D6), called PIII (0, 0, 4, −4), describing its relation to isomonodromic families...
