# Arithmetic and Topology of Differential Equations

The talk will describe arithmetic properties of solutions of linear differential equations, especially Picard-Fuchs equations, and their connections with modular forms, mirror symmetry, and invariants of algebraic varieties. (No prior knowledge of any of these topics will be assumed.) There will be cross-connections to many of the great achievements of Friedrich Hirzebruch, including his proportionality principle, his Riemann-Roch theorem, his resolution of the cusps of Hilbert modular surfaces…
Geometry and arithmetic of integrable hierarchies of KdV type. I. Integrality
• Mathematics, Physics
• 2021
For each of the simple Lie algebras g = Al, Dl or E6, we show that the all-genera one-point FJRW invariants of g-type, after multiplication by suitable products of Pochhammer symbols, are the
Geometric Langlands for hypergeometric sheaves
• Mathematics
Transactions of the American Mathematical Society
• 2021
Generalised hypergeometric sheaves are rigid local systems on the punctured projective line with remarkable properties. Their study originated in the seminal work of Riemann on the Euler--Gauss
Interpolated Apéry numbers, quasiperiods of modular forms, and motivic gamma functions
• Mathematics
• 2021
We extend the definitions of the sequences used by Apéry in his proof of the irrationality of ζ(3) to non-integral values of the index and relate the value with index −1/2 to the central value of the
On Gromov – Witten invariants of P 1
• 2019
Here, (Σg, p1, . . . , pn) denotes an algebraic curve of genus g with at most double-point singularities as well as with the distinct marked points p1, . . . , pn, and the equivalence relation ∼ is
Interpolated Sequences and Critical L-Values of Modular Forms
• Mathematics
Texts & Monographs in Symbolic Computation
• 2019
Recently, Zagier expressed an interpolated version of the Apery numbers for $$\zeta (3)$$ in terms of a critical L-value of a modular form of weight 4. We extend this evaluation in two directions. We
Goursat rigid local systems of rank four
• Mathematics
Research in the Mathematical Sciences
• 2018
We study the general properties of certain rank 4 rigid local systems considered by Goursat. We analyze when they are irreducible, give an explicit integral description as well as the invariant
A Hypergeometric Version of the Modularity of Rigid Calabi-Yau Manifolds
• W. Zudilin
• Mathematics, Physics
Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications
• 2018
We examine instances of modularity of (rigid) Calabi-Yau manifolds whose periods are expressed in terms of hypergeometric functions. The $p$-th coefficients $a(p)$ of the corresponding modular form
Taylor series for the Ap\'ery numbers
• Mathematics
• 2020
The sequence of Apery numbers can be interpolated to $\mathbb{C}$ by an entire function. We give a formula for the Taylor coefficients of this function, centered at the origin, as a
New Representations for all Sporadic Apéry-Like Sequences, With Applications to Congruences
Sporadic Apéry-like sequences were discovered by Zagier, by Almkvist and Zudilin and by Cooper in their searches for integral solutions for certain families of secondand third-order differential
Apéry's irrationality proof, mirror symmetry and Beukers's modular forms
In this paper, we will study the connections between Apery's proof of the irrationality of $\zeta(3)$ and the mirror symmetry of Calabi-Yau threefolds. From the mysterious sequences in Apery's proof,
