Abstract

Let LL be a 44th order differential operator with coefficients in K(z)\mathbb{K}(z), with K\mathbb{K} a computable algebraically closed field. The operator LL is called symplectic when up to rational gauge transformation, the fundamental matrix of solutions XX satisfies XtJX=JX^t J X=J where JJ is the standard symplectic matrix. It is called projectively symplectic when it is projectively equivalent to a symplectic operator. We design an algorithm to test if LL is projectively symplectic. Furthermore, based on Kovacic's algorithm, we design an algorithm that computes Liouvillian solutions of projectively symplectic operators of order 44. Moreover, using Klein's Theorem, algebraic solutions are given as pullbacks of standard hypergeometric equations.
