Its–Prokhorov symplectic-form conjecture for isomonodromic systems

Consider a completely integrable Hamiltonian system with Darboux coordinates {Pa,Qa}\{P_a,Q_a\}, Hamiltonians {Hk}\{H_k\} and times {tk}\{t_k\}. Let T\mathcal{T} be the parameter space of times and let M\mathcal{M} be the parameter space of monodromy parameters {m}\{m_{\ell}\}. Suppose the Darboux coordinates depend on (tk,m)(t_k,m_{\ell}). On T×M\mathcal{T}\times\mathcal{M}, let ω0\boldsymbol{\omega}_{0} be the 22-form defined by the source's extended-form construction, and let Ω\Omega be a symplectic structure on T×M\mathcal{T}\times\mathcal{M}.

Its–Prokhorov symplectic-form conjecture. There exists a constant γC\gamma\in\operatorname{\mathbb{C}} such that

ω0=γΩ.\boldsymbol{\omega}_{0}=\gamma\Omega.

The conjecture proposes that the extended isomonodromic 22-form is proportional to the symplectic structure naturally associated with the classical Hamiltonian system. Its general validity is not established in the supplied text.
