Abstract

Let AA be a set of NN vectors in Zn{\mathbb Z}^n and let vv be a vector in CN{\mathbb C}^N that has minimal negative support for AA. Such a vector vv gives rise to a formal series solution of the AA-hypergeometric system with parameter β=Av\beta=Av. If vv lies in Qn{\mathbb Q}^n, then this series has rational coefficients. Let pp be a prime number. We characterize those vv whose coordinates are rational, pp-integral, and lie in the closed interval [1,0][-1,0] for which the corresponding normalized series solution has pp-integral coefficients. From this we deduce further integrality results for hypergeometric series.
