Abstract: A complete classification of Belyi functions for transforming certain hypergeometric equations to Heun equations is given. The considered hypergeometric equations have the local exponent differences 1/k,1/l,1/m that satisfy k,l,m in N and the hyperbolic condition 1/k+1/l+1/m<1. There are 366 Galois orbits of Belyi functions giving the considered (non-parametric) hypergeometric-to-Heun pull-back transformations. Their maximal degree is 60, which is well beyond reach of standard computational methods. To obtain these Belyi functions, we developed two efficient algorithms that exploit the implied pull-back transformations.

Review text

Belyi functions and ``dessin d'enfants is a motivating field of research in algebraic geometry, complex analysis, Galois theory and related fields. However, computations of Belyi functions of degree over 20 is still considered hard even for genus on Belyi coverings \(\mathbb{P}^1\to\mathbb{P}^1\). The subject of this paper is effective computation of certain Belyi functions \(\mathbb{P}^1\to\mathbb{P}^1\), of degree up to 60, utilizing the fact that those functions transform Fuchsian differential equations with a small number of singularities. The exact results are too involved to be stated here.
