Calabi-Yau operators of degree two
arXiv:2103.08651
Abstract
We show that the solutions to the equations defining the so-called Calabi-Yau condition for fourth order operators of degree two defines a variety that consists of ten irreducible components. These can be described completely in parametric form, but only two of the components seem to admit arithmetically interesting operators. We include a description of the 69 essentially distinct fourth order Calabi-Yau operators of degree two that are presently known to us.
