Thin monodromy in O(5)

Group Theory 2023-07-18 v2

Abstract

This article studies the orthogonal hypergeometric groups of degree five. We establish the thinness of 12 out of the 19 hypergeometric groups of type O(3,2) from [4, Table 6]. Some of these examples are associated with Calabi-Yau 4-folds. We also establish the thinness of 9 out of the 17 hypergeometric groups of type O(4,1) from [12], where the thinness of 7 other cases was already proven. The O(4,1) type groups were predicted to be all thin and our result leaves just one case open.
