0. - Introduction
In the last
decade,
the Painlev6equations
areobjects
of many reserches.The Painlev6
equations
are six non-linear second order differentialequations
whose solutions are free from movable branch
points (branch points
whose po- sitionschange
under the variation ofintegration constants). They
are discoveredby
P. Painlev6[Pain]
in the aim ofdefining
new transcendental functions. We denoteby Pj (J
=I, ... , VI)
theequations
of Painlev6. Forexample, Pvl
iswhere a,
3, -1
and 6 arecomplex
constants.The
adjective
"new"implies
that these transcendental functions are irredu- cible over the classical transcendentalfunctions,
thatis, they
cannot beexpressed by using
theexponential function, algebraic functions,
functions whichsatisfy
linear differential
equations
withalgebraic coefficients,
etc.(for
theprecise
definition of
irreducibility,
see[Ume]).
Inspired by
the work ofPainlev6,
certain mathematicians tried togeneralize
the results of Painlev6 in two direction.
Firstly,
in[Bur], [Chaz], [Gar. I],
the authors have tried toclassify
allthe
algebraic ordinary
differentialequations
of order greater than 2 free from movable branchpoint using
the a-method initiatedby
Painlev6(we
refer the reader to[Inc]
and other literatures for thedetail).
Pervenuto alla Redazione 1’ 1 Settembre 1990 e in forma definitiva il 10 Luglio 1992.
In other
direction,
many nonlinear differentialequations
andcompletely integrable
Pfaffian systems are obtainedusing
thetheory
ofmonodromy preserving
deformations for linearordinary
differentialequations.
Non-existence of movable branchpoints
are established for alarge part
of theseequations by [Miw], [Malg].
Thisproperty
is called the Painlevi property.Nevertheless,
wehave not yet arrived at the state where we can say that these
equations
definenew
special functions,
because we know very little about theproperties
of theirsolutions. For the Painlev6
equations Pj,
a number of articles are devoted to thestudy
of theirgeneral
solutions.In
[Gar.2], [KimH.2], [Tak.2], [Shim.1 ], [YosS], they
studied the localproblem, i.e.,
thestudy
of solutions at fixedsingular points (a singular point
issaid to be
fixed
when it is not a movableone).
On the other
hand,
in[Okm.I],
K. Okamoto has studied theequations Pj
from ageometric point
of view. For eachequation Pj,
he has constructedexplicitly
alocally
trivialcomplex analytic
fiber space in which theequation Pj
defines a uniform foliation(see § 1
for thedefinition).
The purpose of this paper is to realize the
geometric interpretation,
whichis established for
Pj
in[Okm. I],
for acompletely integrable
Pfaffiansystem (see below) enjoying
the Painleve property andgeneralizing Pvl.

drawed inFigure
1.By
virtue of the celebrated theorem of Miwa[Miw]
andMalgrange [Malg]
and the fact that the
system Mn
isequivalent
to 2 x 2Schlesinger system ([YIKS]
§3.6.4),
we obtain thefollowing
result.PROPOSITION 0.1.
[KO.2]
The system iscompletely integrable
andit
enjoys
the Painlevé property. Moreover, any solutionof Mn
is continuedmeromorphically
on the universalcovering
spaceB of
B.In order to formulate
precisely
aproblem
to beconsidered,
we prepare severalterminologies.
Let P :=
(E,
7r,B)
be alocally
trivialcomplex analytic
fiber space consi-sting
ofcomplex
manifolds E of dimension m + n and B of dimension n, and of asurjective holomorphic mapping
7r : E -~ B. The manifolds E and B are called the total space and the base ofP, respectively.
Let 7 be anonsingular complex analytic
foliation of codimension m defined in the total space E of p .Locally,
the foliation 7 is definedby
mlinearly independent holomorphic
1-forms .
DEFINITION 0.2. A leaf of a
nonsingular
foliation Y’ in P is calledT-leaf
if it is transversal to the fibers of P. A leaf of .F is said to be vertical when it is
entirely
contained in some fiber of P.DEFINITION 0.3. A
nonsingular complex analytic
foliation ~ in P =(E,
7r,B)
is said to beuniform
for P ifi)
any leaf of 7 is T-leaf andii)
any
path i
in B can be lifted in a leaf if apoint
isgiven
in the intersection of the leaf and the fiber over theorigin
of ~y.Consider,
inparticular,
acompletely integrable
Pfaffiansystem
of the formwhere
Gij
EC(t)[x].
Let E C be the set of fixedsingular points
of thesystem
(P), i.e.,
is a union of aprojection image
ofpole
divisors ofGij’s
tothe
t-space
and of ahyperplane
atinfinity
inpn(t).
Set B :=Suppose
that the
system (P) enjoys
theproperty
stated inProposition 0.1,
and consider the system(P)
in the total space of a trivial bundleQ °
:=(cm
xB,
7r,B).
The system(P)
defines anonsingular complex analytic
foliation70
in em x B whoseleaves are all T-leaves.
However,
is not uniform forQO
ingeneral
becausethe second condition for the
uniformity
is notnecessarily
fulfilled.DEFINITION 0.4. A fiber
space P
=(E,
7r,B)
is called aP-uniform
fibration(P-fibration)
for thesystem (P)
if(i) (cm
xB, 7r, B)
is a fibersubspace
of P such that x B is aproper
analytic
subset of E,(ii)
the foliationf° prolongs
to a uniform foliation 7 for E,(iii)
any leaf of 7 in the total space E intersects with the total space x B ofQ 0.
REMARK 0.5. Let P =
(E,
7r,B)
be a P-fibration for thesystem (P)
andlet w : :
8 - B
be the universalcovering
space of B. Then thesystem (P)
defines a uniform
foliation !
on the induced fiber space(w* E,
7r,B).
Each leafof the
foliation !
ismapped biholomorphically
to the baseB. Furthermore,
thegeneral
solution of(P)
defines anisomorphism
between any two fibers and of the bundle P.DEFINITION 0.6. A fiber of the P-fibration for the system
(P)
is called aspace
of
initial conditionsof (P).
Heuristically speaking,
in order to construct a P-fibration for the system(P),
westudy
the behavior of itsintegral
manifolds whenthey
tend to"infinity"
as we continue them
analytically.
To thisend,
we consider alocally
trivialcomplex analytic
fiberspace Q
=(F,
7r,B)
whose fiber is analgebraic
manifoldand is a
compactification
of Since the system(P)
isalgebraic,
it extendsnaturally
to the system on Fgiven by holomorphic 1-forms,
and itdefines,
ingeneral,
asingular
foliation(see [R])
on F whosesingular
locus is the set ofpoints
where the 1-forms arelinearly dependent.
The system in F thus obtained is called theprolonged
system of(P).
Let D be the
singularity
of theprolonged system
in F and let .7 be the foliation inFBD
definedby
theprolonged
system of(P).
Note that if apoint
p E D is contained in a closure of some T-leaf which passthrough
apoint
in a total space C 14 x B ofthen, by
virtue of the Painleveproperty
assumed above for(P),
a solution of theprolonged system
whichgives
thisleaf is continued
meromorphically
to thispoint.
This observation leads to thefollowing
definition.DEFINITION 0.7. A
point
in p E D is called an accessiblesingular point
of the foliation Y"
(or
of theprolonged system)
if it is contained in a closure of a T-leaf of 1’.Now we propose to
study
thefollowing problem:
PROBLEM 0.8. Construct a space
of
initial conditionsfor
the Hamiltonian systemMn.
To present our
problem
moreconcretely,
weconsider,
as anexample,
theRiccati
equation:
where
a(t), b(t)
andc(t)
areholomorphic
in asimply
connected domain B of C.Fig.
2If we consider a
change
of variable:then the
equation
of Riccati is transformed intoWe can
interpret
thisprocedure geometrically
in thefollowing
manner. Giventhe Riccati
equation (0.5)
in a trivial bundle:then the fact that the
equation (0.7)
is obtained from(0.5) by
thechange
ofvariable
(0.6) implies
that theequation (0.5)
can beprolonged
to a differentialequation
withoutsingularity
in the total space of fiber bundle: P =1 x B,
x,B)
and thisequation
defines a foliation in the total spaceP ~ 1 x
B of P whose leavesare transversal to the fibers.
Moreover,
the Painlev6 propery of the Riccatiequations
is deduced from thecompactness
of fibersby
virtue of the theorem of Ehressmann. Thatis,
if apoint (yo, to)
E I~ 1 x B and a solutiony(t; to, yo)
of theequation (0.6)
with the initial conditiony(to; to, yo) =
yo aregiven,
then this solution is continuedmeromorphically along
anypath
in B andgives,
for ti E Barbitrary,
thebiholomorphic correspondence
between two fibersIP1
and
~-1 (t 1 ) ^_· I~ 1:
1 1Hence we can say that
P ~
1parametrizes
all the solutions of the Riccatiequation.
In order to
study
the sameproblem
for the system).In,
we find a manifold of dimension 2n which is a 2n-dimensionalanalogue
of the Hirzebruch surfaceEo (see
Remark1.4).
We will see that thisgeneralization
is obtained in a natural way from thesymmetries
of the systemMn.
In Section
1,
westudy
thesymmetries
of thesystem Nn.
The structure of the group ofsymmetries suggests
us to define ageneralization La
of Hirzebruchsurface to 2n dimensional manifold and to
prolong
thesystem Mn
to thetotal space of trivial bundle
La
X B -~ B. Afterreviewing
on a monoidaltransformation we state the main theorem. In Section
2,
we describeexplicitly
how the
system Mn, given
in the total space of(c2n
xB,
1r,B),
isprolonged
to a system in
Ea
x B.Moreover,
the set ofsingular points
of isstudied. Section 3 is devoted to the determination of accessible
singularity
of theprolonged system
Andfinally,
in Section4,
wecomplete
the demonstration of the theorem.1. -

Compact manifold generalizing
Hirzebruch’ssurface
We introduce a compact
complex
manifold of dimension 2n, which is apn-bundle over P". This manifold will serve as fibers of the fiber bundle over
B into which the
system Mn
isprolonged.
Let be the
homogeneous
coordinates of bethe i-th affine coordinate

and 1Sdefined
by
We make use of the
following
convention: thesymbols
andpn(Ç")
denote thecomplex projective
space of dimension n withhomogeneous
coordinates t, z and
~, respectively.
First we construct a
non-compact complex
manifold which is an affine bundle overpn(Z)
with fibersisomorphic
to and will becompactified
togive
ageneralization
of the Hirzebruch’s surface([Hirz], [Kod]).
Set
WZi = Ui
x C n (1 i n). Then(Wii,
7r,Ui ),
with theprojection

factor,
is a trivial bundle overUi.
Letbe a system of coordinates in

In we define anequivalence
relationas follows: two
points (zi, qj)

complex

manifold defined as aquotient

the aboveequivalence
relation.Next
we define acomplex
manifold obtainedby compactifying
fibersof

In

we define anequivalence
relation as follows:points

andLet

be thequotient
space ofU Wi by
the relation defined above.Oin
The set
Ea
has a natural structure ofpn-=bundle
over and will be called the Hirzebruchmanifold.
If there is no fear ofconfusion,
we writeEa
and10,
instead of
Ea
andEon, respectively.

equations ( [Okm.1 ] ) .
1.3. Monoidal
transformation
In this
paragraph,
we recall on monoidal transformations(blowing up)
which we use in this paper.
Let M be a
complex
manifold of dimension m + n and let C be acomplex
submanifold of M of dimension n. Let
Vj (j

be open sets of M such that M= U Vi
and let J’ _{j

E J’and let

We set Then the
complex
structure of M induces theequivalence
relation in and themapping
arecompatible
withthese relations. As a consequence, we have the manifolds:
and a
holomorphic mapping satisfying
is a fiber bundle over C with fibers
isomorphic
tois
biholomorphic.
In this paper we utilise the notation
and the manifold

is called aexceptional manifold.
1.4. Main results
