Belyi function whose Grothendieck dessin is a flower tree with two ramification indices. (English) Zbl 1096.14024
The present paper considers Grothendieck dessins in the plane looking like flower trees, i.e. with graph diameter $$4$$, a vertex of valency $$r$$ as midpoint whose $$k+l$$ neighbour vertices have $$k$$ times valency $$m$$ and $$l$$ times valency $$n\not=m\,$$. The author gives a nice and explicit method to determine the Belyi function belonging to this dessin and proves that the moduli field of the dessin is a field of definition for the Belyi function. The result generalises earlier contributions by L. Schneps [in: The Grothendieck theory of dessins d’enfants. Lond. Math. Soc. Lect. Note Ser. 200, 47–77 (1994; Zbl 0823.14017)], G. Shabat and A. Zvonkin [Contemp. Math. 178, 233–275 (1994; Zbl 0816.05024)] and L. Zapponi [Compos. Math. 122, No. 2, 113–133 (2000; Zbl 0968.14011)].
