Parameterized Differential Equations over k((t))(x)

Abstract

In this article, we consider the inverse Galois problem for parameterized differential equations over k((t))(x) with k any field of characteristic zero and use the method of patching over fields due to Harbater and Hartmann. As an application, we prove that every connected semisimple k((t))-split linear algebraic group is a parameterized Galois group over k((t))(x).
