On solutions of the Chazy equation

Abstract

The Chazy system determines the necessary and sufficient conditions for the absence of movable critical points of solutions of the particular third order differential equation that was considered by Chazy in one of the first papers on the classification of higher-order ordinary differential equations with respect to the Painlevé property. The solution of the complete Chazy system in the case of constant poles has been already obtained. However, the question of integrating the Chazy equation remained open until now. In this paper, we prove that in the case of constant poles, under some additional conditions, this equation is integrated in elliptic functions.
