Abstract

The icosahedron I4I_4 of genus 4 is a dessin d'enfant embedded in Bring's curve B\mathcal{B}. The dessin I4I_4 is related in some sense to a regular icosahedron I0I_0 embedded in the complex Riemann sphere. In particular, decompositions of Belyi functions βI0:CP1CP1\beta_{I_0}: \mathbb{CP}^1 \rightarrow \mathbb{CP}^1 and βI4:BCP1\beta_{I_4}: \mathcal{B} \rightarrow \mathbb{CP}^1 for I0I_0 and I4I_4 have the same lattice. The diagram of βI0\beta_{I_0} decompositions is already known. In the present paper we find βI4\beta_{I_4} decompositions. Note that βI0\beta_{I_0} decomposes into rational functions on CP1\mathbb{C}P^1, while in case of βI4\beta_{I_4} we deal with maps between different algebraic curves.
