Abstract

We propose an integrable system of q-difference equations satisfied by the universal characters and regard it as a q-analogue of the UC hierarchy; see [10]. Via a similarity reduction of this integrable system, rational solutions of the q-Painlevé systems are constructed in terms of the universal characters.
