Differential Galois theory

• differential galois theory

• Liouville 

 

 

historical origin

• integration in finite terms
• quadrature of second order differential equation (Fuchsian differential equation)

 

 

•  

 

 

solvable by quadratures

• basic functions : basic elementary functions
• allowed operatrions : compositions, arithmetic operations, differentiation, integration
• examples
  
  • an elliptic integral is representable by quadrature

 

 

elementary extension

• using exponential and logarithm
• elementary element

 

 

Liouville extension

• we can adjoin integrals and exponentials of integrals + algbraic extension
• an element is said to be representable by a generalized quadrature
• For\(K_{i}=K_{i-1}(e_i)\) , one of the following condition holds
  
  • \(e_i'\in K_{i-1}\)
    
  • \(e_{i}'/e_{i}\in K_{i-1}\) i.e. \((\log e_i)' \in K_{i-1}\)
    
  • \(e_{i}\) is algebraic over \(K_{i-1}\)
    
•  
  

 

 

Picard-Vessiot extension

• framework for linear differential equation
• made by including solutions of DE to the base field (e.g. rational function field)
• this corresponds to the concept of the splitting fields(or Galois extensions)
• we can define a Galois group for a linear differential equation.
• examples
  
  • algebraic extension
  • adjoining an integral
  • adjoining the exponential of an integral

 

theorem

If a Picard-Vessiot extension is a Liouville extension, then the Galois group of this extension is solvable.

 

 

Fuchsian differential equation

• differential equation with regular singularities
• indicial equation
  \(x(x-1)+px+q=0\)
  

theorem

A Fuchsian linear differential equation is solvable by quadratures if and only if the monodromy group of this equation is solvable.
