Hyperbolic Monodromy Groups for the Hypergeometric Equation and Cartan Involutions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give a criterion which ensures that a group generated by Cartan involutions in the automorph group of a rational quadratic form of signature (n−1, 1) is “thin”, namely it is of infinite index in the latter. It is based on a graph defined on the integral Cartan root vectors, as well as Vinberg’s theory of hyperbolic reflection groups. The criterion is shown to be robust for showing that many hyperbolic hypergeometric groups for nFn−1 are thin.

The Hyperbolic Schwarz Map for the Hypergeometric Differential Equation
The Schwarz map of the hypergeometric differential equation is studied since the beginning of the last century. Its target is the complex projective line, the 2-sphere. This paper introduces the hyperbolic Schwarz map, whose target is the hyperbolic 3-space. This map can be considered to be a lifting to the 3-space of the Schwarz map. This paper studies the singularities of this map, and visual...

متن کاملOn Schottky Groups Arising from the Hypergeometric Equation with Imaginary Exponents
In an article by Sasaki and Yoshida (2000), we encountered Schottky groups of genus 2 as monodromy groups of the hypergeometric equation with purely imaginary exponents. In this paper we study automorphic functions for these Schottky groups, and give a conjectural infinite product formula for the elliptic modular function λ.
متن کاملA Family of Schottky Groups Arising from the Hypergeometric Equation
We study a complex 3-dimensional family of classical Schottky groups of genus 2 as monodromy groups of the hypergeometric equation. We find non-trivial loops in the deformation space; these correspond to continuous integer-shifts of the parameters of the equation.
