Abstract

In [J. Lond. Math. Soc. 109 (2024), e12884, 22 pages, arXiv:2208.09721], the difference qKZ equations were considered modulo a prime number pp and a family of polynomial solutions of the qKZ equations modulo pp was constructed by an elementary procedure as suitable pp-approximations of the hypergeometric integrals. In this paper, we study in detail the first family of nontrivial examples of the qKZ equations in characteristic pp. We describe all solutions of these qKZ equations in characteristic pp by demonstrating that they all stem from the pp-hypergeometric solutions. We also prove a Lagrangian property (called the orthogonality property) of the subbundle of the qKZ bundle spanned by the pp-hypergeometric sections. This paper extends the results of [arXiv:2405.05159] on the differential KZ equations to the difference qKZ equations.
