Our computations show that there is a total of $40$ pairs of degree six coprime polynomials $f,g$ where $f(x)=(x-1)^6$, $g$ is a product of cyclotomic polynomials, $g(0)=1$ and $f,g$ form a primitive pair. The aim of this article is to…
We study the examples mentioned in [2,Tables A & C] and establish the arithmeticity of four examples of symplectic hypergeometric groups of degree six. Following [2] we know that there are 458 inequivalent symplectic hypergeometric groups…
We explore the thinness of hypergeometric groups of type $\mathrm{Sp}(4)$ and $\mathrm{Sp}(6)$ by applying a new approach of computer-assisted ping pong. We prove the thinness of $17$ hypergeometric groups with maximally unipotent monodromy…
A computation shows that there are 77 (up to scalar shifts) possible pairs of integer coefficient polynomials of degree five, having roots of unity as their roots, and satisfying the conditions of Beukers and Heckman [1], so that the…
We give a sufficient condition on a pair of (primitive) integral polynomials that the associated hypergeometric group (monodromy group of the corresponding hypergeometric differential equation) is an arithmetic subgroup of the integral…
Based on a result of Singh--Venkataramana, Bajpai--Dona--Singh--Singh gave a criterion for a discrete Zariski-dense subgroup of Sp(2n,Z) to be a lattice. We adapt this criterion so that it can be used in some situations that were previously…
We present new computational results for symplectic monodromy groups of hypergeometric differential equations. In particular, we compute the arithmetic closure of each group, sometimes justifying arithmeticity. The results are obtained by…
Similar to the symplectic cases, there is a family of fourteen orthogonal hypergeometric groups with a maximally unipotent monodromy (cf. Table 1.1). We show that two of the fourteen orthogonal hypergeometric groups associated to the pairs…
We exhibit an infinite family of discrete subgroups of ${Sp}_4(\mathbb R)$ which have a number of remarkable properties. Our results are established by showing that each group plays ping-pong on an appropriate set of cones. The groups arise…
We prove arithmeticity for two degree-six symplectic hypergeometric monodromy groups, called C-47, and C-55 in the paper \cite{BajpaiDonaNitsche2025Thin} by Bajpai-Dona-Nitsche. This settles two of the three remaining cases, whose…
We present all Belyi maps P^1(C) -> P^1(C) having almost simple primitive monodromy groups (not isomorphic to A_n or S_n) containing rigid and rational generating triples of degree between 50 and 250. This also leads to new polynomials…
The variations of Hodge structures of weight one associated to square-tiled surfaces naturally generate interesting subgroups of integral symplectic matrices called Kontsevich--Zorich monodromies. In this paper, we show that arithmetic…
We consider a large family of dynamical Belyi maps of arbitrary degree and study the arithmetic monodromy groups attached to the iterates of such maps. Building on the results of Bouw-Ejder-Karemaker on the geometric monodromy groups of…
We compute invariants of quadratic forms associated to orthogonal hypergeometric groups of degree five. This allows us to determine some commensurabilities between these groups, as well as to say when some thin groups cannot be conjugate to…
We show that some hypergeometric monodromy groups in Sp(4,Z) split as free or amalgamated products and hence by cohomological considerations give examples of Zariski dense, non-arithmetic monodromy groups of real rank 2. In particular, we…
We classify $N{=}1$ $d=4$ kinematical and aristotelian Lie superalgebras with spatial isotropy, but not necessarily parity nor time-reversal invariance. Employing a quaternionic formalism which makes rotational covariance manifest and…
A numerical semigroup is called cyclotomic if its corresponding numerical semigroup polynomial $P_S(x)=(1-x)\sum_{s\in S}x^s$ is expressable as the product of cyclotomic polynomials. Ciolan, Garc\'ia-S\'anchez, and Moree conjectured that…
We determine the index of five of the $7$ hypergeometric Calabi-Yau operators that have finite index in $Sp_4(\mathbb{Z})$ and in two cases give a complete description of the monodromy group. Furthermore we found six non-hypergeometric…
We show that all the currently known non-arithmetic lattices in ${\rm PU}(2,1)$ are monodromy groups of higher hypergeometric functions.
In this paper, we introduce notions of partitionability and characteristic sets of homogeneous polynomials and give a complete classification of groups faithfully acting on smooth cubic fivefolds. Specifically, we prove that there exist 20…
