We give a simple reformulation of the elliptic Painleve equation in such a way that the hidden symmetry W(E_10) is manifestly realized. This reformulation is based on the birational geometry of the del Pezzo surface and closely related to Seiberg-Witten curves describing the E-strings. The relation of the W(E_k) symmetry to the duality of M-theory on a torus is discussed on the level of string equations of motion.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2002-03-04T02:57:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "del pezzo surface", "weyl group symmetry", "elliptic painleve equation", "hidden symmetry", "simple reformulation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 583289 } } }
