Classifying (almost)-Belyi maps with Five Exceptional Points

Combinatorics 2018-06-04 v3

Abstract

We classify all rational functions whose branching pattern above {0, 1, infinity} satisfy a certain regularity condition with precisely d=5 exceptions. This work is motivated by solving second order linear differential equations, with d=5 true singularities, in terms of hypergeometric functions. A similar problem was solved for d=4 by Vidunas and Filipuk.
