Classical Conformal Block and Painleve VI

Classical conformal blocks appear in the limit c->infinity of the Virasoro conformal blocks. Classical conformal blocks have close relationship to monodromy of the second order differential equations with regular singularities. I will discuss relation of 4-point classical conformal blocks to special solutions of Painleve VI equation.
