Differential Galois Theory Semester SoSe 2020 Lecturer Niko Naumann Type of course (Veranstaltungsart) Vorlesung Contents This course is an introduction to the Galois theory of (linear, homogeneous) differential equations. Similar to a polynomial equation in one variable, studied in every basic course in algebra, such an equation admits a Galois-group which captures essential information about the equation. The groups appearing are (linear) algebraic groups and there will be a parallel course by Ertl/Schäppi outlining their basic theory (which is not mandatory to follow this one). A first major application of classical Galois theory is the result that a general equation of degree at least 5 cannot be solved by radicals. Similarly in spirit, we will prove here that the indefinite integral \int exp(-x^2) dx does not admit an elementary solution. Time permitting, we will give an overview of further developments, e.g. to the foundations through Tannakian categories or about (algebraic) D-modules. Literature 1) Kolchin, E.
