We determine a simple expression of the Picard-Fuchs system for a family of Kummer surfaces for all principally polarized Abelian surfaces. It is given by a system of linear partial differential equations in three variables of rank five.…
Six families of generalized hypergeometric series in a variable $x$ and an arbitrary number of parameters are considered. Each of them is indexed by an integer $n$. Linear recurrence relations in $n$ relate these functions and their product…

We prove that a Kummer surface defined over a complete strictly Henselian discretely valued field $K$ of residue characteristic different from 2 admits a strict Kulikov model after finite base change. The Kulikov models we construct will be…
A product of two hypergeometric series is generally not hypergeometric. However, there are a few cases when such product does reduce to a single hypergeometric series. The oldest result of this type, beyond the obvious…
In this paper, we present a new method for finding identities for hypergeoemtric series, such as the (Gauss) hypergeometric series, the generalized hypergeometric series and the Appell-Lauricella hypergeometric series. Furthermore, using…
Our goal is to give a purely algebraic characterization of finite abelian Galois covers of a complete, irreducible, non-singular curve $X$ over an algebraically closed field $\k$. To achieve this, we make use of the Galois theory of…
Integral representations of hypergeometric functions proved to be a very useful tool for studying their properties. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we extend the known representations to arbitrary values of the parameters and…
The confluent hypergeometric functions (the Kummer functions) defined by ${}_{1}F_{1}(\alpha;\gamma;z):=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(\alpha)_{n}}{n!(\gamma)_{n}}z^{n}\ (\gamma\neq 0,-1,-2,\cdots)$, which are of many properties and great…
We prove hypergeometric type summation identities for a function defined in terms of quotients of the $p$-adic gamma function by counting points on certain families of hyperelliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. We also find certain special…
In this paper, we study the classical theory of quadratic line complexes and Kummer surfaces. A quadratic line complex is the intersection of the Grassmannian $G(2,4)$ and a quadric hypersurface in ${\bf P}^5$, and a Kummer surface is the…
Hypergeometric class equations are given by second order differential operators in one variable whose coefficient at the second derivative is a polynomial of degree $\leq2$, at the first derivative of degree $\leq1$ and the free term is a…
We show that, locally, all geometric objects of Generalized Kahler Geometry can be derived from a function K, the "generalized Kahler potential''. The metric g and two-form B are determined as nonlinear functions of second derivatives of K.…
A generalized Kummer surface $X$ obtained as the quotient of an abelian surface by a symplectic automorphism of order 3 contains a $9\mathbf{A}_{2}$-configuration of $(-2)$-curves. Such a configuration plays the role of the…
We derive all eighteen Gauss hypergeometric representations for the Ferrers function of the second kind, each with a different argument. They are obtained from the eighteen hypergeometric representations of the associated Legendre function…
We develop an explicit theory of Kummer varieties associated to Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves of genus 3, over any field $k$ of characteristic $\neq 2$. In particular, we provide explicit equations defining the Kummer variety $\mathcal…
Identities involving finite sums of products of hypergeometric functions and their duals have been studied since 1930s. Recently Beukers and Jouhet have used an algebraic approach to derive a very general family of duality relations. In…
The celebrated Clausen's identity expresses the square of the Gauss hypergeometric series ${}_2F_{1}(a,b;a+b+1/2;x)$ as a single hypergeometric ${}_3F_2$ series. Goursat showed in 1883 that replacing $1/2$ by $m+1/2$ leads to a…
We calculate the automorphism group of the Kummer surface associated with a curve of genus 2 or the product of two elliptic curves in characteristic two under the assumption that the Kummer surface is a $K3$ surface. Moreover we discuss the…
For a number field $K$, an algebraic variety $X/K$ is said to have the Hilbert Property if $X(K)$ is not thin. We are going to describe some examples of algebraic varieties, for which the Hilbert Property is a new result. The first class of…
