Periods and quasiperiods of modular forms and the mirror quintic at the conifold Emanuel Scheidegger Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg |

Abstract: We review the theory of periods of modular forms and extend it to quasiperiods. General motivic conjectures predict a relation between periods and quasiperiods of certain weight 4 Hecke eigenforms associated to hypergeometric one-parameter families of Calabi-Yau threefolds. We verify this prediction and discuss some of its implications on D-brane masses at the conifold on the corresponding mirrors. Language: English |
