Abstract

We define the Hasse-Witt invariant of Calabi-Yau varieties in two different ways. The first method is through Cartier operator and the second method is through the theory of Calabi-Yau modular forms developed by the third author. We conjecture that these two definitions are equivalent and provide many examples of Calabi-Yau varieties in support of this conjecture.
