Abstract:
The general hypergeometric functions of confluent type given by $1$-dimensional integral are studied. To such functions, the rational de Rham cohomology group is associated and cohomological intersection numbers for a good basis are computed explicitly, using the property of the basis analogous to the flat basis of simple singularity of $ A $-type.

Keywords: hypergeometric function, de Rham cohomology, intersection number, flat basis
