Chazy equation explained

In mathematics, the Chazy equation is the differential equation

d3y
dx3

=2y

d2y
dx2

-3\left(

dy
dx

\right)2.

It was introduced by as an example of a third-order differential equation with a movable singularity that is a natural boundary for its solutions.

One solution is given by the Eisenstein series

E2(\tau)=1-24\sum

n=
\sigma
1(n)q

1-24q-72q2- … .

Acting on this solution by the group SL2 gives a 3-parameter family of solutions
