Moduli Spaces for the Fifth Painlev\'e Equation

Isomonodromy for the fifth Painlev'e equation ${\mathrm{P}}_5$ is studied in detail in the context of certain moduli spaces for connections, monodromy, the Riemann-Hilbert morphism, and Okamoto-Painlev'e spaces. This involves explicit formulas for Stokes matrices and parabolic structures. The rank 4 Lax pair for ${\mathrm{P}}_5$, introduced by Noumi-Yamada et al., is shown to be induced by a natural fine moduli space of connections of rank 4. As a by-product one obtains a polynomial Hamiltonian for ${\mathrm{P}}_5$, equivalent to the one of Okamoto.
