Belyi Maps from Zeroes of Hypergeometric Polynomials

The evaluation of low-degree hypergeometric polynomials to zero defines algebraic hypersurfaces in the affine space of the free parameters and the argument of the hypergeometric function. This article investigates the algebraic surfaces defined by the hypergeometric equation <inline-formula>&l...
