Conjecture on trivial differential Galois groups for the inhomogeneous equation

Let PP be a Picard–Vessiot extension of the field of rational functions over C\mathbb{C} obtained by adjoining solutions of the three displayed differential equations in the source, and let the parameters satisfy

α,βZ+12,α+β+r2Z,αβ<r.\alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{Z}+\tfrac{1}{2},\qquad \alpha+\beta+r\in2\mathbb{Z},\qquad |\alpha-\beta|<r.

The trivial-Galois-group conjecture. However large α\alpha, β\beta, and rr are, the Galois group of the associated third-order homogeneous equation is trivial in the category of algebraic groups. The article proves membership in PP for certain parameter choices and reports numerical evidence for relatively small parameters, while the all-parameter assertion remains conjectural.
