In our paper [U2], we proved the irreducibility of the first differential equation y″ = 6y2 + x of Painlevé. In that paper we explained the origin of the problem and the importance of giving a rigorous proof. We can say that our method in [U2] is algebraic and finite dimensional in contrast to a prediction of Painlevé who expected a proof depending on the infinite dimensional differential Galois theory. Even nowadays the latter remains to be established. It seems that Painlevé needed an armament with the general theory (the infinite dimensional differential Galois theory) in the controversy with R. Liouville on the mathematical foundation of the proof of the irreducibility of the first differential equation (1902-03).

AbstractThe non-existence of a real meromorphic first integral for a spherically confined steady Stokes flow of Bajer and Moffatt is proved on the basis of Ziglin’s theory and the differential Galois theory. In the proof, the differential Galois group of a second-order Fuchsian-type differential equation associated with normal variations along a particular streamline is shown to be a special linear group according to Kovacic’s algorithm. A set of special values of a parameter contained in the Fuchsian-type equation is studied by using the theory of elliptic curves. For this set, a computer algebra system is used in part of Kovacic’s algorithm.
