Twisted period relations for Lauricella's hypergeometric functions \(F_A\) (Q888457)

The system of hypergeometric differential equation (denoted by \(E_A\)) annihilating Appell's hypergeometric function \(F_A\) of \(m\) variables is considered in [\textit{K. Matsumoto} and \textit{M. Yoshida}, Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa, Cl. Sci. (5) 13, No. 2, 551--577 (2014; Zbl 1314.32045)] where is shown that \(E_A\) is a holonomic system of rank \(2^m\). The author constructs \(2^m\) twisted cycles and shows that these correspond to the fundamental solution of \(E_A\) expressed in terms of \(F_A\). The intersection numbers of twisted cocycles as well as twisted period relations are evaluated. The author further shows that this relation may be reduced to a quadratic one among \(F_A\)'s.
