Abstract

Picard discovered a similarity between linear differential equations and algebraic equations, and he initiated the development of a differential analogue of Galois theory. The culmination of this theory is the Picard–Vessiot theorem, in which the question of solvability of a linear differential equation relates to the question of solvability of a certain algebraic Lie group.
