Amoebas and Horn hypergeometric functions
[ Abstract ]
Since 10 years, the utility of the Horn hypergeometric functions in Algebraic Geometry has been recognized in a small circle of specialists. The main reason for this interest lies in the fact that every period integral of an affine non-degenerate complete intersection variety can be described as a Horn hypergeometric function (HGF). Therefore the monodromy of the middle dimensional homology can be calculated as the monodromy of an Horn HGF’s.
There is a slight difference between the Gel’fand-Kapranov-Zelevinski HGF’s and the Horn HGF’s. The latter may contain so called “persistent polynomial solutions” that cannot be mapped to GKZ HGF’s via a natural isomorphism between two spaces of HGF’s. In this talk, I will review basic facts on the Horn HGF’s. As a main tool to study the topology of the discriminant loci together with the
analytic aspects of the story, amoebas – image by the log map of the discriminant- will be highlighted.
As an application of this theory the following theorem can be established. For a bivariate Horn HGF system, its monodromy invariant space is always one dimensional if and only if its Ore-Sato polygon is either a zonotope or a Minkowski sum of a triangle and some segments.
