Hypergeometric functions are the analytic functions defined by Taylor expansions of the shape $\sum_{n \geq 0} a_n x^n$, where $a_{n+1}/a_n$ is a rational function of $n$. This general family of functions encompasses many classical functions. The hypergeometric functions play an important role in many parts of mathematics.

Solving the quintic using the eta quotients $\frac{\eta(\tau)}{\eta(2\tau)},\,\frac{\eta(\ta...

I. Reduced quintics The general quintic can be reduced to the one-parameter forms, $$x^5+5x+\alpha=0\\[5pt] x^5+5\alpha x^2-\alpha=0$$ for some generic alpha. The first is the Bring form and there are …

Hilbert's 13th Problem and series solutions for the reduced sextic, septic, and octic?

I. Reduced equations One can eliminate 3 terms from the general quintic, sextic, septic, and octic using a Bring-Jerrard transformation to get the reduced forms in radicals, $$x^5+(x+p) = 0$$ $$x^6+(x …
