Abstract

In this paper, the third in a series, we continue to study the generalized Lamé equation H(n0, n1, n2, n3; B) with the Darboux–Treibich–Verdier potential [3∑ ] y′′ (z) = nk (nk + 1)℘(z +ωk 2 |τ ) + B y(z), k=0 nk ∈ Z≥0 and a related linear ODE with additional singularities ±p from the monodromy aspect. We establish the uniqueness of these ODEs with respect to the global monodromy data. Surprisingly, our result shows that the Riemann–Hilbert correspondence from the set {H(n0, n1, n2, n3; B)|B ∈ C} ∪ {H(n0 + 2, n1, n2, n3; B)|B ∈ C} to the set of group representations ρ: π1 (Eτ ) → SL(2, C) is one-to-one. We emphasize that this result is not trivial at all. There is an example that for τ =12+i √ 3 2, there areB1, B2 such that the monodromy representations of H(1, 0, 0, 0; B1 ) and H(4, 0, 0, 0; B2 ) are the same, namely the Riemann–Hilbert correspondence from the set {H(n0, n1, n2, n3; B)|B ∈ C} ∪ {H(n0 + 3, n1, n2, n3; B)|B ∈ C} to the set of group representations is not necessarily one-to-one. This example shows that our result is completely different from the classical one concerning linear ODEs defined on CP1 with finite singularities.
