On the integrality of the Taylor coefficients of mirror maps, II
read the original abstract
We continue our study begun in "On the integrality of the Taylor coefficients of mirror maps" (arXiv:0907.2577) of the fine integrality properties of the Taylor coefficients of the series ${\bf q}(z)=z\exp({\bf G}(z)/{\bf F}(z))$, where ${\bf F}(z)$ and ${\bf G}(z)+\log(z) {\bf F}(z)$ are specific solutions of certain hypergeometric differential equations with maximal unipotent monodromy at $z=0$. More precisely, we address the question of finding the largest integer $v$ such that the Taylor coefficients of $(z ^{-1}{\bf q}(z))^{1/v}$ are still integers. In particular, we determine the Dwork-Kontsevich sequence $(u_N)_{N\ge1}$, where $u_N$ is the largest integer such that $q(z)^{1/u_N}$ is a series with integer coefficients, where $q(z)=\exp(G(z)/F(z))$, $F(z)=\sum_{m=0}^{\infty} (Nm)! z^m/m!^N$ and $G(z)=\sum_{m=1}^{\infty} (H_{Nm}-H_m)(Nm)! z^m/m!^N$, with $H_n$ denoting the $n$-th harmonic number, conditional on the conjecture that there are no prime number $p$ and integer $N$ such that the $p$-adic valuation of $H_N-1$ is strictly greater than 3.
