Dwork families and -modules
arXiv:1512.08390 · doi:10.4171/rmi/1088
Abstract
A Dwork family is a one-parameter monomial deformation of a Fermat hypersurface. In this paper we compute algebraically the invariant part of its Gauss-Manin cohomology under the action of certain subgroup of automorphisms. To achieve that goal we use the algebraic theory of -modules, especially one-dimensional hypergeometric ones.
