Homology, Belyi functions and canonical curves.
Applying the “exact WKB method” (cf. Delabaere-Dillinger-Pham) to the stationary one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with polynomial potential, one is led to a multivalued complex action-integral function. This function is a (hyper)elliptic integral; the sheet structure of its Riemann surface above the plane of its values has interesting properties: the projection of its branch-points is in general a dense subset of the plane, and there is a group of symmetries acting on the surface. The distribution...
