Monodromy of certain Painleve-VI transcendents and reflection groups

We study the global analytic properties of the solutions of a particular fa mily of Painleve VI equations with the parameters beta = gamma = 0, delta = 1/2 and 2 alpha = (2 mu-1)(2) with arbitrary mu, 2 mu is not an element of Z. We introduce a class of solutions having critical behaviour of algebrai c type, and completely compute the structure of the analytic continuation o f these solutions in terms of an auxiliary reflection group in the three di mensional space. The analytic continuation is given in terms of an action o f the braid group on the triples of generators of the reflection group. We show that the finite orbits of this action correspond to the algebraic solu tions of our Painleve VI equation and use this result to classify all of th em. We prove that the algebraic solutions of our Painleve VI equation are i n one-to-one correspondence with the regular polyhedra or star-polyhedra in the three dimensional space.
