Abstract

The Fermat type Calabi-Yau nn-fold, denoted by Fn\mathscr{F}_n, is the hypersurface of Pn+1\mathbb{P}^{n+1} defined by i=0n+1xin+2=0\sum_{i=0}^{n+1}x_i^{n+2}=0, which is the smooth fiber over the Fermat point ψ=0\psi=0 of the Fermat pencil i=0n+1xin+2(n+2)ψi=0n+1xi=0. \sum_{i=0}^{n+1} x^{n+2}_i -(n+2)\, \psi\, \prod_{i=0}^{n+1} x_i =0. The nowhere vanishing holomorphic nn-form on Fn\mathscr{F}_n defines an n+1n+1 dimensional sub-Hodge structure of (Hn(Fn,Q),Fp)(H^n(\mathscr{F}_n,\mathbb{Q}),F_p). In this paper, we will formulate a conjecture which says that this n+1n+1 dimensional sub-Hodge structure splits completely into the direct sum of pure Hodge structures with dimensions 2\leq 2, among which is a direct summand Ha,1n\mathbf{H}^n_{a,1} whose Hodge decomposition is Ha,1n=Hn,0(Fn)H0,n(Fn). \mathbf{H}^n_{a,1}=H^{n,0}(\mathscr{F}_n) \oplus H^{0,n}(\mathscr{F}_n). Using numerical methods, we are able to explicitly construct such a split for the cases where n=3,4,6n=3,4,6, while we also construct a partial split for the cases where n=8,10n=8,10. For n=3,4,6,8,10n=3,4,6,8,10, we have numerically found that the value of the mirror map tt for the Fermat pencil at the Fermat point ψ=0\psi=0 is of the form tψ=0=12+ξi, t|_{\psi=0}=\frac{1}{2}+\xi \,i, where ξ\xi is a real algebraic number that intuitively depends on the integer n+2n+2. Furthermore, we have also numerically found that the quotient c+(Ha,1n)/c(Ha,1n)c^+(\mathbf{H}^n_{a,1})/c^-(\mathbf{H}^n_{a,1}) of the Deligne's periods of Ha,1n\mathbf{H}^n_{a,1} is an algebraic number for the cases where n=3,4,6,8,10n=3,4,6,8,10, and in fact we will formulate a stronger conjecture generalizing this observation. We will also show that Ha,14\mathbf{H}^4_{a,1} satisfies the prediction of Deligne's conjecture.
