Abstract

For a differential operator LL of order nn over C(z)C(z) with a finite (differential) Galois group GGL(Cn)G\subset {\rm GL}(C^n), there is an algorithm, by M. van Hoeij and J.-A.~Weil, which computes the associated evaluation of the invariants ev:C[X1,,Xn]GC(z)ev:C[X_1,\dots ,X_n]^G\rightarrow C(z). The procedure proposed here does the opposite: it uses a theorem of E.~Compoint and computes the operator LL from a given evaluation hh. Moreover it solves a part of the inverse problem of producing LL for a given representation of a finite group GG. Another part considered here, is finding irreducible GG-invariant curves ZP(Cn)Z\subset \mathbb{P}(C^n) with Z/GZ/G of genus zero and constructing evaluations from this. The theory developed here is illustrated by various examples, and relates to and continues classical work of H.A.~Schwarz, G.~Fano, F.~Klein and A.~Hurwitz.
