Hypergeometric Properties of Genus 3 Generalized Legendre Curves

Number Theory 2017-05-09 v1

Abstract

Inspired by a result of Manin, we study the relationship between certain period integrals and the trace of Frobenius of genus 3 generalized Legendre curves. We show that both of these properties can be computed in terms of "matching" classical and finite field hypergeometric functions, a phenomenon that has also been observed in elliptic curves and many higher dimensional varieties.
