Quantum Curve and the First Painlevé Equation

Abstract

We show that the topological recursion for the (semi-classical) spectral curve of the first Painlevé equation PI gives a WKB solution for the isomonodromy problem for PI. In other words, the isomonodromy system is a quantum curve in the sense of [Dumitrescu O., Mulase M., Lett. Math.
