Abstract: In their paper on the gamma conjecture in mirror symmetry, Golyshev and Zagier introduce what we refer to as Frobenius constants associated to an ordinary linear differential operator L with a reflection type singularity. These numbers describe the variation around the reflection point of Frobenius solutions to L defined near other singular points. Golyshev and Zagier show that in certain geometric cases Frobenius constants are periods, and they raise the question quite generally how to describe these numbers motivically. In this paper we give a relation between Frobenius constants and Taylor coefficients of generalized gamma functions, from which it follows that Frobenius constants of Picard--Fuchs differential operators are periods. We also study the relation between these constants and periods of limiting Hodge structures. This is a major revision of the previous version of the manuscript. The notion of Frobenius constants and our main result are extended to the general case of regular singularities with any sets of local exponents. In addition, the generating function of Frobenius constants is given explicitly for all hypergeometric connections.
