On Generalized Hypergeometric Equations and Mirror Maps

چکیده
This paper deals with generalized hypergeometric differential equations of order n ≥ 3 having maximal unipotent monodromy at 0. We show that, among these equations, those leading to mirror maps with integral Taylor coefficients at 0 (up to simple rescaling) have special parameters, namely R-partitioned parameters. This result yields the classification of all generalized hypergeometric differential equations of order n ≥ 3 having maximal unipotent monodromy at 0 such that the associated mirror map has the above integrality property.

Arithmetic Properties of Mirror Maps Associated with Gauss Hypergeometric Equations
— We draw up the list of Gauss hypergeometric differential equations having maximal unipotent monodromy at 0 whose associated mirror map has, up to a simple rescaling, integral Taylor coefficients at 0. We also prove that these equations are characterized by much weaker integrality properties (of p-adic integrality for infinitely many primes p in suitable arithmetic progressions). It turns out ...
متن کامل1 v 1 2 7 Ju l 1 99 5 Mirror Maps , Modular Relations and Hypergeometric Series I ⋄ Bong
Motivated by the recent work of Kachru-Vafa in string theory, we study in Part A of this paper, certain identities involving modular forms, hypergeometric series, and more generally series solutions to Fuchsian equations. The identity which arises in string theory is the simpliest of its kind. There are nontrivial generalizations of the identity which appear new. We give many such examples – al...
متن کاملMirror Symmetry for Toric Branes on Compact Hypersurfaces
We use toric geometry to study open string mirror symmetry on compact Calabi–Yau manifolds. For a mirror pair of toric branes on a mirror pair of toric hypersurfaces we derive a canonical hypergeometric system of differential equations, whose solutions determine the open/closed string mirror maps and the partition functions for spheres and discs. We define a linear sigma model for the brane geo...
متن کاملOn the Integrality of the Taylor Coefficients of Mirror Maps
Abstract. We show that the Taylor coefficients of the series q(z) = z exp(G(z)/F(z)) are integers, where F(z) and G(z) + log(z)F(z) are specific solutions of certain hypergeometric differential equations with maximal unipotent monodromy at z = 0. We also address the question of finding the largest integer u such that the Taylor coefficients of (zq(z)) are still integers. As consequences, we are...
متن کاملGkz Hypergeometric Systems and Applications to Mirror Symmetry
Mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau manifolds is one of the most beautiful aspects of string theory. It has been applied with great success to do non-perturbative calculation of quantum cohomology rings1−10. More recently, new ideas have been developed to apply mirror symmetry to study the moduli space of the type II string vacua compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold. Some of the recent work on verif...
