Arithmetic properties of mirror map and quantum coupling
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We study some arithmetic properties of the mirror maps and the quantum Yukawa coupling for some 1-parameter deformations of Calabi-Yau manifolds. First we use the Schwarzian differential equation, which we derived previously, to characterize the mirror map in each case. For algebraic K3 surfaces, we solve the equation in terms of the -function. By deriving explicit modular relations we prove that some K3 mirror maps are algebraic over the genus zero function field . This leads to a uniform proof that those mirror maps have integral Fourier coefficients. Regarding the maps as Riemann mappings, we prove that they are genus zero functions. By virtue of the Conway-Norton conjecture (proved by Borcherds using Frenkel-Lepowsky-Meurman's Moonshine module), we find that these maps are actually the reciprocals of the Thompson series for certain conjugacy classes in the Griess-Fischer group. This also gives, as an immediate consequence, a second proof that those mirror maps are integral. We thus conjecture a surprising connection between K3 mirror maps and the Thompson series. For threefolds, we construct a formal nonlinear ODE for the quantum coupling reduced . Under the mirror hypothesis and an integrality assumption, we derive congruences for the Fourier coefficients. For the quintics, we deduce (at least for ) that the degree instanton numbers are divisible by -- a fact first conjectured by Clemens.
The mirror map and the quantum coupling are known to have many interesting number theoretic properties. For example, the Fourier coefficients of the mirror map are integral in all known cases. In this paper, the authors prove that some K3 mirror maps are algebraic over \(\mathbb{Q} (J)\) by solving the Schwarzian differential equation in terms of the \(J\)-function, which leads to a uniform proof that these mirror maps have integral Fourier coefficients. The authors also give another proof that those mirror maps are integral by using the fact that such maps are genus zero functions as Riemann mappings, and conjecture a connection between K3 mirror maps and the Thompson series. Finally, they discuss \(\text{mod } p\) congruences for the cases of threefolds and the quintics.
