Abstract

Let LL be a differential operator with coefficients in Q(z)\mathbb{Q}(z) of order n2n\geq2 with maximal unipotent monodromy at zero. In this paper we are interested in determining when the canonical coordinate of LL belongs to Zp[[z]]\mathbb{Z}_p[[z]]. For this purpose, motivated by a recent conjecture due to P. Candelas, X. de la Ossa and D. van Straten~\cite{CD}, we study the situation when LL has a strong Frobenius structure Φ=(ϕi,j)1i,jnMn(Zp[[z]])\Phi=(\phi_{i,j})_{1\leq i,j\leq n}\in M_n(\mathbb{Z}_p[[z]]) such that ϕ1,1(0)=1\phi_{1,1}(0)=1. We then give a necessary and sufficient condition for the canonical coordinate of LL to belong to Zp[[z]]\mathbb{Z}_p[[z]] when LL has such a strong Frobenius structure.
