Heun equations coming from geometry

Algebraic Geometry 2012-04-18 v2 Differential Geometry

Abstract

We give a list of Heun equations which are Picard-Fuchs associated to families of algebraic varieties. Our list is based on the classification of families of elliptic curves with four singular fibers done by Herfurtner. We also show that pullbacks of hypergeometric functions by rational Belyi functions with restricted ramification data give rise to Heun equations.
