When is the monodromy group of a linear differential equation dense in the Galois group?

Given a system $Y'=A(t)Y$ with only regular singular points, then a theorem of Schlesinger says that the Zariski closure of the monodromy group is equal to the Galois group of the corresponding Picard-...

On the solvability of a nonlinear differential system

A nonlinear formulation of differential Galois theory was discussed here and here for three dimensional nonlinear systems (proof is on pages 6 – 10). For a two dimensional system, the following system ...

The asymptotic growth of codimension of range of polynomial differential equation on finite fields

Inspired by the seminal paper of Andre Weil on the number of solutions of equations on finite fields we would like to present the following question: Let $P(x,y), Q(x,y)$ be two polynomials of ...

About writing solutions of linear ODE's: Is this statement correct?

A motivating example: Consider the Hypergeometric equation $$z(1-z) \frac{d^2y}{dz^2}+(c-(a+b+1)z) \frac{dy}{dz}-aby=0,$$ it has a solution given by the Gauss's Hypergeometric function $$_2F_1(a,b;c;z)...
