Levi, Decio (ed.) et al., Painlevé transcendents: their asymptotics and physical applications. Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop, Sainte-Adèle, Canada, September 3-7, 1990. New York, NY: Plenum Press. NATO ASI Ser., Ser. B, Phys. 278, 377-391 (1992).
Summary: We review the role of Painlevé functions in the theory of the Ising model and discuss the prospect of extending these results to the other solvable statistical mechanical models related to conformal field theory.
