The holonomic rank of the A-hypergeometric system H_A(\beta) is shown to depend on the parameter vector \beta when the underlying toric ideal I_A is a non Cohen Macaulay codimension 2 toric ideal. The set of exceptional parameters is…

The holonomic rank of an A-hypergeometric system $H_A(\beta)$ is conjectured to be independent of the parameter vector $\beta$ if and only if the toric ideal $I_A$ is Cohen Macaulay. We prove this conjecture in the case that $I_A$ is…

The dimension of the space of holomorphic solutions at nonsingular points (also called the holonomic rank) of a $A$--hypergeometric system $M_A (\beta)$ is known to be bounded above by $ 2^{2d}\operatorname{vol}(A)$, where $d$ is the rank…

We analyze the behavior of the holonomic rank in families of holonomic systems over complex algebraic varieties by providing homological criteria for rank-jumps in this general setting. Then we investigate rank-jump behavior for…

Let A be an integer (d x n) matrix, and assume that the convex hull conv(A) of its columns is a simplex of dimension d-1. Write \NA for the semigroup generated by the columns of A. It was proved by M. Saito [math.AG/0012257] that the…

We study $A$-hypergeometric systems $H_A(\beta)$ in the sense of Gelfand, Kapranov and Zelevinsky under two aspects: the structure of their holonomically dual system, and reducibility of their rank module. We prove first that rank-jumping…

For any integer $d\times (n+1)$ matrix $A$ and parameter $\beta\in\CC^d$ let $M_A(\beta)$ be the associated $A$-hypergeometric (or GKZ) system in the variables $x_0,\ldots,x_n$. We describe bounds for the (roots of the) $b$-functions of…

We study the irregularity sheaves attached to the $A$-hypergeometric $D$-module $M_A(\beta)$ introduced by Gel'fand et al., where $A\in\mathbb{Z}^{d\times n}$ is pointed of full rank and $\beta\in\mathbb{C}^d$. More precisely, we…

We investigate the solution space of hypergeometric systems of differential equations in the sense of Gelfand, Graev, Kapranov and Zelevinsky. For any integer $d \geq 2$ we construct a matrix $A_d \in \N^{d \times 2d}$ and a parameter…

We prove that a holonomic binomial $D$--module $M_A (I,\beta)$ is regular if and only if certain associated primes of $I$ determined by the parameter vector $\beta\in \CC^d$ are homogeneous. We further describe the slopes of $M_A(I,\beta)$…

A tautological system, introduced in \cite{LSY}\cite{LY}, arises as a regular holonomic system of partial differential equations that govern the period integrals of a family of complete intersections in a complex manifold $X$, equipped with…

We undertake the study of bivariate Horn systems for generic parameters. We prove that these hypergeometric systems are holonomic, and we provide an explicit formula for their holonomic rank as well as bases of their spaces of complex…

We introduce a novel concept of rank for subsets of finite metric spaces E^n_q (the set of all n-dimensional vectors over an alphabet of size q) equipped with the Hamming distance, where the rank R(A) of a subset A is defined as the number…

In this work we prove that a semialgebraic set $M\subset{\mathbb R}^m$ is determined (up to a semialgebraic homeomorphism) by its ring ${\mathcal S}(M)$ of (continuous) semialgebraic functions while its ring ${\mathcal S}^*(M)$ of…

Many hypergeometric differential systems that arise from a geometric setting can be endowed with the structure of mixed Hodge modules. We generalize this fundamental result to the tautological systems associated to homogeneous spaces by…

For a finite set A of integral vectors, Gel'fand, Kapranov and Zelevinskii defined a system of differential equations with a parameter vector as a D-module, which system is called an A-hypergeometric (or a GKZ hypergeometric) system.…

We give conditions under which the monodromy group of an $A$-hypergeometric system is invariant under modifications of the collection of characters $A$. The key ingredient is a Zariski--Lefschetz type theorem for principal $A$-determinants.

Let $A$ be an integer matrix, and assume that its semigroup ring $\mathbb{C}[\mathbb{N}A]$ is normal. Fix a face $F$ of the cone of $A$. We show that the projection and restriction of an $A$-hypergeometric system to the coordinate subspace…

We introduce the monic rank of a vector relative to an affine-hyperplane section of an irreducible Zariski-closed affine cone $X$. We show that the monic rank is finite and greater than or equal to the usual $X$-rank. We describe an…
