Abstract: The space of Lam'e functions of order m is isomorphic to the space of pairs (elliptic curve, Abelian differential) where the differential has a single zero of order 2m at the origin and m double poles with vanishing residues. We describe the topology of this space: it is a Riemann surface of finite type; we find the number of components and the genus and Euler characteristic of each component. As an application we find the degrees of Cohn's polynomials confirming a conjecture by Robert Maier. As another application we partially describe the degeneration locus of the space of spherical metrics on tori with one conic singularity where the conic angle is an odd multiple of 2$pi$.
