Plane Sextics via Dessins D’enfants

چکیده
We develop a geometric approach to the study of plane sextics with a triple singular point. As an application, we give an explicit geometric description of all irreducible maximal sextics with a type E7 singular point and compute their fundamental groups. All groups found are finite; one of them is nonabelian.

Plane Sextics with a Type E8 Singular Point
We construct explicit geometric models for and compute the fundamental groups of all plane sextics with simple singularities only and with at least one type E8 singular point. In particular, we discover four new sextics with nonabelian fundamental groups; two of them are irreducible. The groups of the two irreducible sextics found are finite. The principal tool used is the reduction to trigonal...
متن کاملZARISKI k-PLETS VIA DESSINS D’ENFANTS
We construct exponentially large collections of pairwise distinct equisingular deformation families of irreducible plane curves sharing the same sets of singularities. The fundamental groups of all curves constructed are abelian.
متن کاملDessins d’Enfants, Their Deformations and Algebraic the Sixth Painlevé and Gauss Hypergeometric Functions
We consider an application of Grothendieck’s dessins d’enfants to the theory of the sixth Painlevé and Gauss hypergeometric functions: two classical special functions of the isomonodromy type. It is shown that, higher order transformations and the Schwarz table for the Gauss hypergeometric function are closely related with some particular Belyi functions. Moreover, we introduce a notion of defo...

Grothendieck’s dessins d’enfants are applied to the theory of the sixth Painlevé and Gauss hypergeometric functions, two classical special functions of isomonodromy type. It is shown that higher-order transformations and the Schwarz table for the Gauss hypergeometric function are closely related to some particular Bely̆ı functions. Moreover, deformations of the dessins d’enfants are introduced, ...
متن کاملGalois invariants of dessins d’enfants
The two main problems of the theory of dessins d’enfants are the following: i) given a dessin, i.e., a purely combinatorial object, find the equations for β and X explicitly; ii) find a list of (combinatorial? topological? algebraic?) invariants of dessins which completely identify their Gal(Q̄/Q)-orbits. The second problem can be interestingly weakened from Gal(Q̄/Q) to ĜT , but it remains absol...
