Isomonodromic Deformation, by Michael Wong.

Abstract: I will try to explain how isomonodromic deformation gives a flat Ehresmann connection on fibre bundles whose fibres are moduli spaces of connections.  We will look at the old example of Schlesinger's equations, then see how this carries over to the situation for irregular meromorphic connections in the work of Boalch, and possibly an example from the work of Krichever, generalized by Hurtubise.
