On the mixed-twist construction and monodromy of associated Picard-Fuchs systems (Q2088566)

\textit{C. F. Doran} and \textit{A. Malmendier} [Adv. Theor. Math. Phys. 23, No. 5, 1271--1359 (2019; Zbl 1478.14025)] have introduced an iterative mixed-twist construction (MTC) of families of Jacobian elliptic Calabi-Yau \(n\)-folds from a family of Jacobian elliptic Calabi-Yau \((n-1)\)-folds for all \(n\geq 2\). The authors of the present paper use this construction to obtain a multi-parameter family of \(K3\) surfaces of Picard rank \(\rho \geq 16\). Upon identifying a particular Jacobian elliptic fibration on its general member, they determine the lattice polarization and the Picard-Fuchs system for the family and construct a sequence of restrictions that lead to extensions of the polarization by two-elementary lattices. They prove that the Picard-Fuchs operators for the restricted families coincide with known resonant hypergeometric systems. For the one-parameter mirror families of deformed Fermat hypersurfaces they show that the MTC produces a non-resonant GKZ system for which a basis of solutions in the form of absolutely convergent Mellin-Barnes integrals exists whose monodromy is explicitly computed.
