Belyi's theorem revisited

Bernhard Köck

Faculty of Mathematical Studies, University of Southampton, Southampton SO17 1BJ, United Kingdom, e-mail: bk@maths.soton.ac.uk.

Abstract: We give an elementary, self-contained and quick proof of Belyi's theorem. As a by-product of our proof we obtain an explicit bound for the degree of the defining number field of a Belyi surface.

Keywords: Moduli field; field of definition; Galois descent

Classification (MSC2000): 14H30, 14H25, 12F10
