Survey of hypergeometric motives, with a focus on their source varieties, Hodge numbers, and L-functions.

Using the framework relating hypergeometric motives to modular forms, we define an explicit family of weight 2 Hecke eigenforms with complex multiplication. We use the theory of ${}_2F_1(1)$ hypergeometric series and Ramanujan's theory of…

Ramanujan's theory of elliptic functions to alternative bases connects modular forms with hypergeometric series and has led to applications such as the modularity of certain hypergeometric Galois representations. In this paper, we relate…

We consider algebraic transformations of hypergeometric functions from a geometric point of view. Hypergeometric functions are shown to arise from the deRham realization of a hypergeometric motive. The $\ell$-adic realization of the motive…

By using some hypergeometric series identities, we prove two supercongruences on truncated hypergeometric series, one of which is related to a modular Calabi--Yau threefold, and the other is regarded as $p$-adic analogue of an identity due…

Exactly solvable mirror pairs of Calabi-Yau threefolds of hypersurface type exist in the class of Gepner models that include nondiagonal affine invariants. Motivated by the string modular interpretation established previously for models in…

We study classical hypergeometric series as a p-adic function of its parameters inspired by a problem in the American Mathematical Monthly solved by D. Zagier. This is an extended abstract of a talk given at the workshop "Hypergeometric…

We construct p-adic Asai L-functions for cuspidal automorphic representations of GL2 / F, where F is a real quadratic field in which p splits. Our method relies on higher Hida theory for Hilbert modular surfaces with Iwahori level at one…

Hypergeometric functions of complex matrices were introduced by James in multivariate statistics. These special functions play many roles in random matrix theory. The main goal of this paper is to suggest a new use for them as holomorphic…

We define a two-variable $p$-adic Asai $L$-function for a finite-slope family of Hilbert modular forms over a real quadratic field (with one component of the weight, and the cyclotomic twist variable, varying independently); and a…

In this expository paper, we illustrate two explicit methods which lead to special $L$-values of certain modular forms admitting complex multiplication (CM), motivated in part by properties of $L$-functions obtained from Calabi-Yau…

Hypergeometric motives are family of motives associated to hypergeometric local systems. Their special features, in particular their rigidity, makes them more tractable than general motives. In the present article we prove most of the…

This paper proposes a conjecture on special values of L-functions of geometric motives over Z. This includes L-functions of mixed motives over Q and Hasse-Weil zeta-functions of schemes over Z. We conjecture the following: the order of L(M,…

In 1914, Ramanujan gave a list of 17 identities expressing $1/\pi$ as linear combinations of values of hypergeometric functions at certain rational numbers. Since then, identities of similar nature have been discovered by many authors.…

Hypergeometric functions over finite fields were introduced by Greene in the 1980s as a finite field analogue of classical hypergeometric series. These functions, and their generalizations, naturally lend themselves to, and have been widely…

Using the theory of Calabi-Yau differential equations we obtain all the parameters of Ramanujan-Sato-like series for $1/\pi^2$ as $q$-functions valid in the complex plane. Then we use these q-functions together with a conjecture to find new…

We calculate the Beilinson regulators of motives associated to Fermat curves and express them by special values of generalized hypergeometric functions. As a result, we obtain surjectivity results of the regulator, which support the…

In 1995, Thakur invented and studied positive characteristic analogues of hypergeometric functions. In this paper, we interpret the special values of those functions as periods of a pre-$t$-motive. As a consequence, we show their…

In a recent work, H.Narita presented problems concerning the strict positivity of central values of certain automorphic $L$-functions in the form of questions regarding special values of the hypergeometric series. In this paper, we present…

We record $$ \binom{42}2+\binom{23}2+\binom{13}2=1192 $$ functional identities that, apart from being amazingly amusing by themselves, find applications in derivation of Ramanujan-type formulas for $1/\pi$ and in computation of mathematical…
