TL;DR
This paper derives an explicit first derivative formula for the G-automorphic function associated with a triangle group in terms of Gaussian hypergeometric functions. It uses the Schwarz triangle function as the inverse of the hypergeometric differential equation and a hypergeometric based mapping to the hyperbolic triangle to obtain a tractable expression. The key contribution is the closed form for dξ/dw with parameters α,β,γ and α',β',γ' determined by the triangle group data and an accessory parameter K defined via Gamma functions, together with a hyperbolic distance lemma and a detailed Wronskian Abel-based proof. The results provide a computable representation of automorphic functions on triangle groups in terms of classical special functions and illuminate their hyperbolic geometric structure.
Abstract
For a triangle group $G$, the $G$-automorphic function is the inverse of Schwarz triangle function. In this paper, we compute the first derivative of the $G$-automorphic function for the triangle group $G$ in terms of the Gaussian hypergeometric function.
