Lattice Green functions and Calabi–Yau differential equations
نویسنده
چکیده
By making the connection between four-dimensional lattice Green functions (LGFs) and Picard–Fuchs ordinary differential equations of Calabi–Yau manifolds, we have given explicit forms for the coefficients of the fourdimensional LGFs on the simple-cubic and body-centred cubic lattices, in terms of finite sums of products of binomial coefficients, and have shown that the corresponding four-dimensional face-centred cubic LGF satisfies a fourthorder ODE of degree 7, which we have found but not solved. The fact that the Picard–Fuchs equations that appear here are similar to those that appear in string theory perhaps makes the first connection between these two apparently unrelated topics. PACS numbers: 02.30.Hq, 05.50.+q, 05.40.Fb

8 Notes on Calabi - Yau Ordinary Differential Equations ∗
We investigate the structures of Calabi-Yau differential equations and the relations to the arithmetic of the pencils of Calabi-Yau varieties behind the equations. This provides explanations of some observations and computations in the recent paper [12].
متن کاملOn Sp_4 modularity of Picard--Fuchs differential equations for Calabi--Yau threefolds
Motivated by the relationship of classical modular functions and Picard–Fuchs linear differential equations of order 2 and 3, we present an analogous concept for equations of order 4 and 5.
متن کاملGeneralizations of Clausen’s Formula and Algebraic Transformations of Calabi–yau Differential Equations
We provide certain unusual generalizations of Clausen’s and Orr’s theorems for solutions of fourth-order and fifth-order generalized hypergeometric equations. As an application, we present several examples of algebraic transformations of Calabi–Yau differential equations.
متن کاملMirror Symmetry of Calabi-Yau Manifolds and Flat Coordinates
We study mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau manifolds within the framework of the Gauss-Manin system. Applying the flat coordinates to the Gauss-Manin system for the periods, we derive differential equations for the mirror map in addition to the ordinary Picard-Fuchs equations for the periods. These equations are obtained for a class of one-parameter models and a two-parameter model of Fermat type C...
متن کاملOn Stokes Matrices of Calabi-yau Hypersurfaces
We consider Laplace transforms of the Picard-Fuchs differential equations of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces and calculate their Stokes matrices. We also introduce two different types of Laplace transforms of Gel’fand-KapranovZelevinski hypergeometric systems.
