Differential equations and algebraic transcendents: french efforts at the creation of a Galois theory of differential equations 1880–1910

Tom Archibald (2011)

Revue d'histoire des mathématiques

A “Galois theory” of differential equations was first proposed by Émile Picard in 1883. Picard, then a young mathematician in the course of making his name, sought an analogue to Galois’s theory of polynomial equations for linear differential equations with rational coefficients. His main results were limited by unnecessary hypotheses, as was shown in 1892 by his student Ernest Vessiot, who both improved Picard’s results and altered his approach, leading Picard to assert that his lay closest to...

Differential Galois realization of double covers

An effective construction of homogeneous linear differential equations of order 2 with Galois group 2 A 4 , 2 S 4 or 2 A 5 is presented.

Differential Galois Theory for an Exponential Extension of ( ( z ) )

Magali Bouffet (2003)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

In this paper we study the formal differential Galois group of linear differential equations with coefficients in an extension of ( ( z ) ) by an exponential of integral. We use results of factorization of differential operators with coefficients in such a field to give explicit generators of the Galois group. We show that we have very similar results to the case of ( ( z ) ) .
