Abstract: We show that the Halphen transform of a Lam'e equation can be written as the symmetric square of the Lam'e equation followed by an Euler transform. We use this to compute a list of Lam'e equations with arithmetic Fuchsian monodromy group. It contains all those Lam'e equations where the quaternion algebra $A$ over $k$ associated to the arithmetic Fuchsian group is a quaternion algebra $A$ over $mathbbQ$. Further we classify all geometric braid group orbits in $$ with the possible exception of three orbits.

Review text

The paper studies algebraic solutions of the Lame equation \[ p(z) y+\frac{1}{2}p'(z)y'+q(z)y=0, \] \[ p(z)=4z^3-g_2 z-g_3,\, q(z)=-(n(n+1)-\lambda ) \] (see \textit{F. Beukers} and \textit{A. van der Waall} [J. Differ. Equations 197, No. 1, 1--25 (2004; Zbl 1085.34068)]). The author gives a full list of equations whose monodromy group is an arithmetic Fuchsian group with the associated quaternion algebra defined over \(\mathbb Q\). To obtain this result, the Halphen and Euler transforms are used.
