Spectral Curve of the Halphen Operator

Abstract

The Halphen operator is a third-order operator of the form L3=x3g(g+2)(x)x12g(g+2)(x), L_3=\partial_x^3-g(g+2)\wp(x)\partial_x-\frac{1}{2}g(g+2)\wp'(x), where g2\mboxmod(3)g\ne 2\,\mbox{mod(3)}, the Weierstrass \wp-function satisfies the equation ((x))2=43(x)g2(x)g3. (\wp'(x))^2=4\wp^3(x)-g_2\wp(x)-g_3. In the equianharmonic case, i.e., g2=0g_2=0 the Halphen operator commutes with some ordinary differential operator LnL_n of order n0\mboxmod(3).n\ne 0\,\mbox{mod(3)}. In this paper we find the spectral curve of the pair L3,LnL_3,L_n.
