چکیده

We show that certain hypergeometric series used to formulate mirror symmetry for Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces, in string theory and algebraic geometry, satisfy a number of interesting properties. Many of these properties are used in separate papers to verify the BCOV prediction for the genus one Gromov-Witten invariants of a quintic threefold and more generally to compute the genus one Gromov-Witten invariants of any Calabi-Yau projective hypersurface.

1 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...

Mirror Symmetry for Stable Quotients Invariants

The moduli space of stable quotients introduced by Marian-Oprea-Pandharipande provides a natural compactification of the space of morphisms from nonsingular curves to a nonsingular projective variety and carries a natural virtual class. We show that the analogue of Givental’s J-function for the resulting twisted projective invariants is described by the same mirror hypergeometric series as the ...

Open-String Gromov-Witten Invariants: Calculations and a Mirror “Theorem”

We propose localization techniques for computing Gromov-Witten invariants of maps from Riemann surfaces with boundaries into a CalabiYau, with the boundaries mapped to a Lagrangian submanifold. The computations can be expressed in terms of Gromov-Witten invariants of one-pointed maps. In genus zero, an equivariant version of the mirror theorem allows us to write down a hypergeometric series, wh...

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 ...

A Subclass of Analytic Functions Associated with Hypergeometric Functions

In the present paper, we have established sufficient conditions for Gaus-sian hypergeometric functions to be in certain subclass of analytic univalent functions in the unit disc $mathcal{U}$. Furthermore, we investigate several mapping properties of Hohlov linear operator for this subclass and also examined an integral operator acting on hypergeometric functions.
