Abstract

This paper aims to show that a certain moduli space T\textsf{T}, which arises from the so-called Dwork family of Calabi-Yau nn-folds, carries a special complex Lie algebra containing a copy of sl2(C)\mathfrak{sl}_2(\mathbb{C}). In order to achieve this goal, we introduce an algebraic group G\sf G acting from the right on T\textsf{T} and describe its Lie algebra Lie(G){\rm Lie}({\sf G}). We observe that Lie(G){\rm Lie}({\sf G}) is isomorphic to a Lie subalgebra of the space of the vector fields on T\textsf{T}. In this way, it turns out that Lie(G){\rm Lie}({\sf G}) and the modular vector field R{\sf R} generate another Lie algebra G\mathfrak{G}, called AMSY-Lie algebra, satisfying dim(G)=dim(T)\dim (\mathfrak{G})=\dim (\textsf{T}). We find a copy of sl2(C)\mathfrak{sl}_2(\mathbb{C}) containing R{\sf R} as a Lie subalgebra of G\mathfrak{G}. The proofs are based on an algebraic method calling "Gauss-Manin connection in disguise". Some explicit examples for n=1,2,3,4n=1,2,3,4 are stated as well.
