Abstract: Algebraic hypergeometric functions can be compactly expressed as radical functions on pull-back curves where the monodromy group is simpler, say, a finite cyclic group. These so-called Darboux evaluations were already considered for algebraic 2F1-functions. This article presents Darboux evaluations for the classical case of 3F2-functions with the projective monodromy group PSL(2,F7). As an application, appealing modular evaluations of the same 3F2-functions are derived.


The paper studies hypergeometric equations of the form \[ (z\frac{d}{dz}+\alpha_1)(z\frac{d}{dz}+\alpha_2)(z\frac{d}{dz}+\alpha_3)y= \frac{d}{dz}(z\frac{d}{dz}+\beta_1-1)(z\frac{d}{dz}+\beta_2-1)y \] with a finite projective monodromy group \(\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb F_7)\). The author shows that there are only six different (up to projective and contiguity equivalence) cases of such equations and indicates their parameters explicitly. He also studies in detail the cases when the simple change of independent variable reduces the original equation to an equation with a cyclic or dihedral Galois group. As a result, explicit formulas for such transformations are obtained (Darboux evaluations in the author's terminology, see [the author, Kyushu J. Math. 67, No. 2, 249--280 (2013; Zbl 1279.33007)]).
