TY - JOUR AU - Chakravarty, S. AU - Guha, P. PY - 2025 TI - The DH5 system and the Chazy and Ramamani equations JO - AIMS Mathematics SP - 6318 EP - 6337 VL - 10 IS - 3 AB - This article considers a class of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) whose general solutions possess a natural boundary in the complex plane and admit special solutions that are automorphic under the action of subgroups of the modular group P SL 2 ( Z ). Specifically, a 3 × 3 matrix valued system known as the Darboux-Halphen 9 (DH9) system and its fifth-order reduction to the DH5 system are discussed. These systems arise as reductions of the self-dual Yang-Mills equations of mathematical physics. It is shown that the equations discovered by J. Chazy (1908) and V. Ramamani (1970) are embedded in the DH5 system. UR - https://doi.org/10.3934/math.2025288 DO - 10.3934/math.2025288
