Fiber-dependent deautonomization of integrable 2D mappings and discrete Painlevé equations

It is well known that two-dimensional mappings preserving a rational elliptic fibration, like the Quispel–Roberts–Thompson mappings, can be deautonomized to discrete Painleve equations. However, the dependence of this procedure on the choice of a particular elliptic fiber has not been sufficiently investigated. In this paper we establish a way of performing the deautonomization for a pair of an autonomous mapping and a fiber. Starting from a single autonomous mapping but varying the type of a chosen fiber, we obtain different types of discrete Painleve equations using this deautonomization procedure. We also introduce a technique for reconstructing a mapping from the knowledge of its induced action on the Picard group and some additional geometric data. This technique allows us to obtain factorized expressions of discrete Painleve equations, including the elliptic case. Further, by imposing certain restrictions on such non-autonomous mappings we obtain new and simple elliptic difference Painleve equations, including examples whose symmetry groups do not appear explicitly in Sakai's classification.
