Abstract: | We start discussing the group of automorphisms of the field of complex numbers, and describe, in the special case of polynomials
with only two critical values, Grothendieck’s program of ‘Dessins d’ enfants’, aiming at giving representations of the absolute
Galois group. We describe Chebycheff and Belyi polynomials, and other explicit examples. As an illustration, we briefly treat
difference and Schur polynomials. Then we concentrate on a higher dimensional analogue of the triangle curves, namely, Beauville
surfaces and varieties isogenous to a product. We describe their moduli spaces, and show how the study of these varieties
leads to new interesting questions in the theory of finite (simple) groups.
We would like to thank Fabio Tonoli for helping us with the pictures. |
