Abstract: The quintic-mirror family is a well-known one-parameter family of Calabi-Yau threefolds. A complete description of the global monodromy group of this family is not yet known. In this paper, we give a presentation of the global monodromy group in the general linear group of degree 4 over the ring of integers modulo 5.

Review text

This paper is concerned with a description of the global monodromy group \(\Gamma\) of the quintic mirror family. It is well known that \(\Gamma\) is Zariski dense in \(\mathrm{Sp}(4,{\mathbb{Z}})\). This paper finds a presentation of \(\Gamma\) in \(GL(4,{\mathbb{Z}}/5{\mathbb{Z}})\). In [\textit{Y. Chen, Y. Yang} and \textit{N. Yui}, J. Reine Angew. Math. 616, 167--203 (2008; Zbl 1153.34055)], it was shown that the monodromy group \(\Gamma\) is contained in a congruence subgroup \(\Gamma(5,5)\) which is of finite index in \(\mathrm{Sp}(4,{\mathbb{Z}})\), but could not show that \(\Gamma\) itself has finite index in \(\Gamma(5,5)\). This paper finds a smaller group \(\tilde{\Gamma}(5,5)\) which is a proper subgroup of \(\Gamma(5,5)\) and contains \(\Gamma\). However, this paper could not establish the finite index nature of \(\Gamma\) in \(\mathrm{Sp}(4,{\mathbb{Z}})\). Recent result of \textit{C. Brav} and \textit{H. Thomas} [``Thin monodromy in \(\mathrm{Sp}(4)\), \url{arXiv:1210.0523}] asserts that \(\Gamma\) is thin, that is, \(\Gamma\) is not of finite index in \(\mathrm{Sp}(4,{\mathbb{Z}})\).
