Confluence on the Painlevé Monodromy Manifolds, their Poisson Structure and Quantisation

Abstract

In this paper we obtain a system of flat coordinates on the monodromy manifold of each of the Painlevé equations. This allows us to quantise such manifolds. We produce a quantum confluence procedure between cubics in such a way that quantisation and confluence commute. We also investigate the underlying cluster algebra structure and the relation to the versal deformations of singularities of type $D_4,A_3,A_2$, and $A_1$.
