The geometry of solutions to the general sextic
Sidhanth Raman
Source abstract
We study the geometry of the three simplest known formulas for roots of a general sextic polynomial. In contrast with work of Green on the quintic, we show that no "simultaneous uniformization" of the normal forms associated to the solutions exists. This demonstrates an intrinsic qualitative complexity of sextic equations that is not present in quintic equations. Additionally, we give a formula for the roots of a general sextic in terms of Hilbert modular cusp forms and the uniformizing differential equation of the associated Hilbert modular surface.
