Abstract

Let GG be one of the classical groups of Lie rank ll. We make a similar construction of a general extension field in differential Galois theory for GG as E. Noether did in classical Galois theory for finite groups. More precisely, we build a differential field EE of differential transcendence degree ll over the constants on which the group GG acts and show that it is a Picard-Vessiot extension of the field of invariants EGE^G. The field EGE^G is differentially generated by ll differential polynomials which are differentially algebraically independent over the constants. They are the coefficients of the defining equation of the extension. Finally we show that our construction satisfies generic properties for a specific kind of GG-primitive Picard-Vessiot extensions.
