On the Painlevé Property of Isomonodromic Deformations of Fuchsian Systems

We give a review of the modern theory of isomonodromic deformations of Fuchsian systems discussing both classical and modern results, such as a general form of the isomonodromic deformations of Fuchsian systems, their differences from the classical Schlesinger deformations, the Fuchsian system moduli space structure and the geometric meaning of new degrees of freedom appeared in a non-Schlesinger case. Using this we illustrate some general relations between such concepts as integrability, isomonodromy and Painlevé property.
