TL;DR
The paper investigates the non-integrability of the four-dimensional Sasano system of type $A^{(2)}_5$ by applying the Morales–Ramis–Simó framework to the first and second normal variational equations along a rational seed solution. By computing the differential Galois groups and analyzing Stokes data for irregular singularities, it establishes non-Abelian obstructions to Liouville integrability in the generic parameter regime and in a key special case. The use of Bäcklund transformations then extends these obstructions to all parameter values for which a rational solution exists, yielding the main non-integrability result. Overall, the work advances the integrability classification of higher-order Painlevé-type systems through a rigorous differential Galois-theoretic approach.
Abstract
The Sasano sytem of type $A^{(2)}_5$ is a four-dimensional non-linear system of ordinary differential equations, which has an affine Weyl group of symmetries of type $A^{(2)}_5$. It is also a tipe dependent Hamiltonian system, which can be considered as coupled Painlevé III systems. In this paper, utilizing the Morales-Ramis-Simó theory for integrability of Hamiltonian systems, we prove rigorously that for all values of the parameters, for which the Sasano system of type $A^{(2)}_5$ admits a particular rational solution, it is non-integrable by rational first integrals.
