Hurwitz groups as monodromy groups of dessins: several examples
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a number of examples to illustrate the use of small quotient dessins as substitutes for their often much larger and more complicated Galois (minimal regular) covers. In doing so we employ several useful group-theoretic techniques, such as the Frobenius character formula for counting triples in a finite group, pointing out some common traps and misconceptions associated with them. Although our examples are all chosen from Hurwitz curves and groups, they are relevant to dessins of any type. MSC Classification: primary 14H57, secondary 20B25.

Relating two genus 0 problems of John Thompson
Excluding a precise list of groups like alternating, symmetric, cyclic and dihedral, from 1st year algebra (§7.2.3), we expect there are only finitely many monodromy groups of primitive genus 0 covers. Denote this nearly proven genus 0 problem as Problem 2 . We call the exceptional groups 0-sporadic. Example: Finitely many Chevalley groups are 0-sporadic. A proven result: Among polynomial 0-spo...

متن کاملCounting Integral Lamé Equations by Means of Dessins D’enfants
We obtain an explicit formula for the number of Lamé equations (modulo linear changes of variable) with index n and projective monodromy group of order 2N , for given n ∈ Z and N ∈ N. This is done by performing the combinatorics of the ‘dessins d’enfants’ associated to the Belyi covers which transform hypergeometric equations into Lamé equations by pull-back.
متن کاملIdentifying Powers of Half-Twists and Computing its Root
In this paper we give an algorithm for solving a main case of the conjugacy problem in the braid groups. We also prove that half-twists satisfy a special root property which allows us to reduce the solution for the conjugacy problem in half-twists into the free group. Using this algorithm one is able to check conjugacy of a given braid to one of E. Artin’s generators in any power, and compute i...
متن کاملRiemann-Hilbert problem for Hurwitz Frobenius manifolds: regular singularities
In this paper we study the Fuchsian Riemann-Hilbert (inverse monodromy) problem corresponding to Frobenius structures on Hurwitz spaces. We find a solution to this Riemann-Hilbert problem in terms of integrals of certain meromorphic differentials over a basis of an appropriate relative homology space over a Riemann surface, study the corresponding monodromy group and compute the monodromy matri...
