Thin monodromy in $\mathrm{Sp}(4)$ and $\mathrm{Sp}(6)$
Abstract
We explore the thinness of hypergeometric groups of type and by applying a new approach of computer-assisted ping pong. We prove the thinness of hypergeometric groups with maximally unipotent monodromy in , completing the classification of all such groups into arithmetic and thin cases. In addition, we establish the thinness of further hypergeometric groups in , and of hypergeometric groups in , completing the classification of all hypergeometric groups. To the best of our knowledge, this article produces the first examples in the cyclotomic family of Zariski dense non-arithmetic hypergeometric monodromy groups of real rank three.
