Ramis' sixtieth birthday. The first volume opens with two articles composed of recollections and three articles on J.-P. Ramis' works on complex analysis and ODE theory, both linear and non-linear. This introduction is followed by papers concerned with Galois theories, arithmetic or integrability: analogies between differential and arithmetical theories, $$q$$-difference equations, classical or $$p$$-adic, the Riemann-Hilbert problem and renormalization, $$b$$-functions, descent problems, Krichever modules, the set of integrability, Drach theory, and the VI$${}^{{th}}$$ Painlevé equation. The second volume contains papers dealing with analytical or geometrical aspects: Lyapunov stability, asymptotic and dynamical analysis for pencils of trajectories, monodromy in moduli spaces, WKB analysis and Stokes geometry, first and second Painlevé equations, normal forms for saddle-node type singularities, and invariant tori for PDEs. The volumes are suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in differential equations, number theory, geometry, and topology.
