Introduction For the hypergeometric system E(3, 6; α) of type (3, 6), two special cases α 1/2 and α 1/6 are studied in [MSY] and [MSTY2], respectively. The monodromy group of the former, say M(1/2), is an arithmetic group acting on a symmetric domain, and that of the latter, say M(1/6), is the unitary reflection group ST34. In this paper, we find a relation between these two groups; roughly speaking, M(1/6) is isomorphic to M(1/2) modulo Hypergeometric system E(3, 6; α) Let X = X(3, 6) be the configuration space of six lines in the projective plane P 2 defined as X(3, 6) = GL 3 (C)\{z M(3, 6) D z (ijk) 0, 1 i < j < k 6}/H 6, where M(3, 6) is the set of 3 6 complex matrices, D z (ijk) is the (i, j, k)-minor of z, and H 6 GL 6 (C) is the group of diagonal matrices. It is a 4-dimensional complex manifold. A matrix z M(3, 6) defines six lines in P 2 : L j : l j := z 1j t 1 + z 2j t 2 + z 3j t 3 = 0, 1 j 6, Date: 21 June Mathematics Subject Classification. 33C80.

2 2 KEIJI MATSUMOTO, TAKESHI SASAKI, AND MASAAKI YOSHIDA where t 1 : t 2 : t 3 is a system of homogeneous coordinates. For parameters α = (α 1,..., α 6 ) ( α i = 3), we consider the integral 6 l j (z) αj 1 dt, dt = t 1 dt 2 dt 3 + t 2 dt 3 dt 1 + t 3 dt 1 dt 2 σ j=1 for a (twisted) 2-cycle σ in P 2 L j. It is a function in z, but not quite a function on X. So for simplicity, we fix local coordinates on X as x 1 x 2, x 3 x 4 and consider such integrals above as functions in x = (x 1, x 2, x 3, x 4 ). Then they satisfy a system of linear differential equations on X, called the hypergeometric differential equation E(3, 6; α) of type (3, 6). The rank (dimension of local solutions) of this system is six. This system can be represented, for example, by (α D 1234 )D 1 u = x 1 (D α 5 )(D 12 + α 2 )u, (α D 1234 )D 2 u = x 2 (D α 6 )(D 12 + α 2 )u, (α D 1234 )D 3 u = x 3 (D α 5 )(D 34 + α 3 )u, (α D 1234 )D 4 u = x 4 (D α 6 )(D 34 + α 3 )u, x 1 (α 5 1 D 13 )D 2 u = x 2 (α 6 1 D 24 )D 1 u, x 3 (α 5 1 D 13 )D 4 u = x 4 (α 6 1 D 24 )D 3 u, x 1 (α 2 + D 12 )D 3 u = x 3 (α 3 + D 34 )D 1 u, x 2 (α 2 + D 12 )D 4 u = x 4 (α 3 + D 34 )D 2 u, x 2 x 3 D 1 D 4 u = x 1 x 4 D 2 D 3 u, where D i = x i / x i, α i...j = α i + + α j, D i...j = D i + + D j. 3. A compactification X of X(3, 6) The configuration space X = X(3, 6) admits an obvious action of the symmetric group S 6 permuting the numbering of the six lines. The Grassmann duality on the Grassmannian Gr(3, 6) induces an involution on X. A system of six lines, representing a point of X, is fixed by if and only if there is a conic tangent to the six lines. The set of fixed points of on X is a 3-dimensional submanifold of X. Indeed it is isomorphic to the configuration space X(2, 6) of six points on P 1. The action of S 6 and that of commutes. There is a compactification X of X on which S 6 acts bi-regularly, such that X/ = P 4 (bi-regular). 4. Local property of E(3, 6) Let X ijk be the set of points in X represented by the system (L 1,..., L 6 ) of six lines such that L i, L j, L k meet at a point. Then X = X 1 i<j<k 6 X ijk. The system E(3, 6) can be considered to be defined on X with regular singularity along X ijk.

3 MONODROMY OF HYPERGEOMETRIC SYSTEM 3 The Schwarz map s(α) of the system E(3, 6; α) is defined by linearly independent solutions u 1,..., u 6 as s : X x u 1 (x) : : u 6 (x) P 5, It has exponent α i + α j + α k 1 along X ijk. In the x-coordinates, only 14 among the twenty X ijk are visible; they are given by the equations D(ijk) = 0: D(135) = x 1, D(136) = x 2, D(345) = x 1 1, D(346) = x 2 1, D(125) = x 3, D(126) = x 4, D(245) = x 3 1, D(246) = x 4 1, D(145) = x 1 x 3, D(146) = x 2 x 4, D(256) = x 3 x 4, D(356) = x 1 x 2, D(156) = x 1 x 4 x 2 x 3, D(456) = (x 1 1)(x 4 1) (x 2 1)(x 3 1). 5. Monodromy groups For 1 i < j < k 6, we introduce 6-vectors a ijk and b ijk : a 123 = ( d 123, d 12 c 3, 0, d 1 c 23, 0, 0), b 123 = (1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0), a 124 = ( d 4 c 12, d 12, d 12 c 4, d 1 c 2, d 1 c 24, 0), b 124 = (1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0), a 125 = ( d 5 c 12, 0, d 12, 0, d 1 c 2, 0), b 125 = (1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0), a 126 = (1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0), b 126 = ( d 126, d 1236 /c 3, d 5 c 126, 0, 0, 0), a 134 = (d 4 c 1, d 34 c 1, d 3 c 14, d 1, d 1 c 4, d 1 c 34 ), b 134 = (0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0), a 135 = (d 5 c 1, d 5 c 13, d 3 c 1, 0, d 1, d 1 c 3 ), b 135 = (0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0), a 136 = ( 1/c 2, c 3 /c 2, 0, 0, 0, 0), b 136 = ( d 2, d 1236 /c 3, d 5 c 126, d 1236 /c 3, d 5 c 126, 0), a 145 = (0, d 5 c 1, d 45 c 1, 0, 0, d 1 ), b 145 = (0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1), a 146 = (0, 1, c 4, 0, 0, 0), b 146 = (d 2 /c 2, d 1456, d 5 c 16, d 3 c 1456, d 5 c 16, d 5 c 16 ), a 156 = (0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0), b 156 = (d 2 /c 2, d 1456, d 156, d 3 c 1456, d 34 c 156, d 4 c 156 ), a 234 = ( d 4, d 34, d 3 c 4, d 234, d 23 c 4, d 2 c 34 ), b 234 = (0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0), a 235 = ( d 5, d 5 c 3, d 3, d 5 c 23, d 23, d 2 c 3 ), b 235 = (0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0), a 236 = (1, c 3, 0, c 23, 0, 0), b 236 = (d 1 /c 1, 0, 0, d 45 c 6, d 5 c 6, 0), a 245 = (0, d 5, d 45, d 5 c 2, d 45 c 2, d 2 ), b 245 = (0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1), a 246 = (0, 1, c 4, c 2, c 24, 0), b 246 = (d 1 /c 1, d 1 /c 1, 0, d 3 c 456, d 5 c 6, d 5 c 6 ), a 256 = (0, 0, 1, 0, c 2, 0), b 256 = (d 1 /c 1, d 1 /c 1, d 1 /c 1, d 3 c 456, d 34 c 56, d 4 c 56 ), a 345 = (0, 0, 0, d 5, d 45, d 345 ), b 345 = (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1), a 346 = (0, 0, 0, 1, c 4, c 34 ), b 346 = (0, d 1 /c 1, 0, d 3456, 0, d 5 c 6 ), a 356 = (0, 0, 0, 0, 1, c 3 ), b 356 = (0, d 1 /c 1, d 1 /c 1, d 3456, d 3456, d 4 c 56 ), a 456 = (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1), b 456 = (0, 0, d 1 /c 1, 0, d 12 /c 12, d 456 ), where c j = exp 2πiα j, c ij = c i c j, d ij = c ij 1. The circuit matrix around a loop in X going once around the divisor X ijk is given by R ijk = I 6 t a ijk b ijk. These R ijk (1 i < j < k 6) generate the monodromy group M(α) of the system E(3, 6; α). The monodromy group keeps the form d 1 d 2 d 345 d 1 d 2 d 45 d 1 d 2 d c 3 d 1 d 2 d 45 d 1 d 23 d 45 d 1 d 23 d 5 d 1 d 3 d 45 d 1 d 3 d 5 0 H = d 6 c 34 d 1 d 2 d 5 c 4 d 1 d 23 d 5 d 1 d 234 d 5 c 4 d 1 d 3 d 5 d 1 d 34 d 5 d 1 d 4 d 5 0 c 2 d 1 d 3 d 45 c 2 d 1 d 3 d 5 d 12 d 3 d 45 d 12 d 3 d c 24 d 1 d 3 d 5 c 2 d 1 d 34 d 5 c 4 d 12 d 3 d 5 d 12 d 34 d 5 d 12 d 4 d c 23 d 1 d 4 d 5 0 c 3 d 12 d 4 d 5 d 123 d 4 d 5 invariant: t ŘHR = H, R M(α),

4 4 KEIJI MATSUMOTO, TAKESHI SASAKI, AND MASAAKI YOSHIDA where ˇ is the operator which changes c j to 1/c j. The above facts are shown in [MSTY1, MSTY2]. Note that the lists in these papers contains errors for a 136 and a 145, so we tabulated here the corrected vectors. The scalars a ijk tb lmn have the following properties. Lemma 1. (1) a ijk tb ijk = 1 c i c j c k (1 i < j < k 6). (2) For the other entries, we omit explicit expressions: If a ijk tb lmn is not zero as a rational function of c 1,..., c 5 (c 6 = (c 1 c 5 ) 1 ), we replace the value simply by z. Then the matrix AB := (a ijk tb lmn ) is given as z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z 0 z z z z z z z z z 0 z z z z z 0 z z z z z z z z z 0 0 z 0 z z 0 0 z 0 z z z z 0 0 z z z z z 0 z z z z z 0 z z 0 0 z z z 0 z z z z z z 0 z z z z z z z z 0 z z z z z z z 0 z z 0 0 z 0 z z 0 z z 0 0 z z 0 z z 0 z z z z z z z z z z 0 z z z z z z z z z z z 0 z z z 0 0 z z 0 z z z z z z 0 0 z z z z 0 0 z z z z z z 0 z z 0 0 z z z 0 z z z z z z z z z z z 0 z z z z z z z z z z 0 z z 0 z z 0 0 z z 0 z z 0 z 0 0 z z 0 z z z z z z z 0 z z z z z z z z 0 z z z z z z 0 z z z 0 0 z z 0 z z z z z 0 z z z z z 0 0 z z z z 0 z 0 0 z z 0 z 0 0 z z z z z z z z z 0 z z z z z 0 z z z z z z z z z 0 z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z z We are interested in the most symmetric cases: c 1 = = c 6 =: c. Since c 6 = 1, we have c = 1, 1, ω, ω, where ω is a primitive third root of unity. Excluding the trivial case c = 1 (for all i, j, k, we have a ijk = 0 or b ijk = 0, and so R ijk = I 6 ), there are three cases. By the explicit expression of AB, we see Lemma 2. When c = 1 and ω, the entries of the matrix AB marked z are not equal to zero. When c = ω, the diagonal elements of the matrix AB are zero, while the other entries marked z are not zero. The case c = ω is of special interest; this will be studied in [SY]. In this paper, we treat the two cases { Case 0 : 1/2 = (1/2,..., 1/2) and (α 1,..., α 6 ) = Case 1 : 1/6 = (1/6, 1/6, 1/6, 1/6, 1/6, 1/6 + 1, 1/6 + 1). In these cases, the circuit matrix R ijk around the divisor X ijk is a reflection of order 2 with respect to the hermitian matrix H; the vector b ijk can be expressed in terms of a ijk and H as b ijk = 2ā ijk H/(a ijk, a ijk ) H, and so each reflection is expressed by a row 6-vector a = a ijk as R ijk = I 6 2 t aāh/(a, a) H,.

5 MONODROMY OF HYPERGEOMETRIC SYSTEM 5 where (a, a ) H := āh t a. From now on, everything related to the case 0 has 0 on ones top-right, and put nothing for the case 1. For example, while c 0 j = 1, d 0 j = 2, d 0 ij = 0,..., c j = ω, d j = ω 2, d ij = ω 2 1,... (ω 2 + ω + 1 = 0), and for the case 0, the hermitian matrix is H 0, the roots are a 0 ijk, and the reflections are Rijk 0, while for the case 1, they are H, a ijk and R ijk. Lemma 2 implies Fact 1. For vectors a ijk and a 0 ijk, we have a ijk H a lmn if and only if a 0 ijk H 0 a 0 lmn. Fact 2. ([MSY]) The reflections Rijk 0 generate the principal congruence subgroup Γ(2) with respect to H 0. Fact 3. ([MSTY2]) The reflections R ijk generate the finite complex reflection group ST34 (Shephard-Todd registration number 34, order = ). These groups Γ(2) and ST34 will be studied in the next section. 6. Groups related to ST 34 and Γ(2) 6.1. Arithmetic groups. The invariant form H 0 is an integral symmetric matrix unimodularly equivalent to ( ) 0 1 U U ( I 2 ), U =, 1 0 where I k denotes the unit matrix of degree k. The symmetric domain H is defined to be a component of We set {z C 6 t zh 0 z = 0, t zh 0 z > 0} P 5. O H 0(Z) = {g GL 6 (Z) t gh 0 g = H 0 }, Γ = {g O H 0(Z) g keeps each of two connected components}, Γ(2) = {g Γ g I 6 mod 2}, Γ(3) = {g Γ g I 6 mod 3}, Γ(6) = Γ(2) Γ(3) = {g Γ g I 6 mod 6}. These groups act properly discontinuously on H. Note that I 6 Γ(2), I 6 / Γ(3), Γ(6). It is shown in [MSY] that the group Γ(2) is generated by the reflections R 0 a = I 6 2a t ah 0 /(a, a) H 0 with respect to the roots a of norm N(a) := (a, a) H 0 = 1 and that Γ is generated by reflections with respect to the roots of norm 1 and 2. Now we define the subgroup Γ(1) of Γ generated by reflections with respect to the roots of norm 1 and the products of two reflections with respect to the roots of norm 2. Note that [Γ, Γ(1)] = 2, Γ(2) Γ(1).

6 6 KEIJI MATSUMOTO, TAKESHI SASAKI, AND MASAAKI YOSHIDA 6.2. Finite groups ([Atlas]). The invariant hermitian form H is negative definite. It is shown in [MSTY2] that the twenty reflections R ijk generates a unitary reflection group often called ST34. It is a reflection group in GL 6 (Z[ω]) with structure where ST 34 = 6.G.2, 6 stands for the cyclic group of order 6, G stands for the simple group P SU 4 (3), 2 stands for the cyclic group of order 2, 6 is a normal subgroup of ST 34 with ST 34/(6) G.2 and 6.G is a normal subgroup of ST 34 with ST 34/(6.G) 2. Note that 6 corresponds to the group ωi 6 generated by the scalar matrix ωi 6, and 2 corresponds to det = ±1, i.e., S(ST 34)/ ω is isomorphic to the simple group G, where S(ST 34) denotes the subgroup of ST 34 with det(g) = 1. We set GO 6 (3) = {g GL 6(F 3 ) t ghg = H}. It is known that there exist two kinds of non-degenerate quadratic forms on (F 3 ) 6 with Witt defect 0 and 1. Our H gives the form with Witt defect 1. It is shown in [Atlas] that this group has the structure GO 6 (3) = 2.G.(22 ). Note that the center of GO 6 (3) is {±I 6} and (2 2 ) corresponds to the characters det(g) and # 2 (g), where # 2 (g) means the spinor norm which is the number of reflections with N(v j ) = 2 modulo 2 when g is expressed as a product of reflections R 0 v j with N(v j ) = 1, 2. We set GΩ 6 (3) = {g GO 6 (3) # 2(g) = 0}. Since I 6 Γ(2), we have # 2 ( I 6 ) = 0. Note that the kernel of the natural map is Γ(3). p : Γ GO 6 (3) 7. Relation between the two monodromy groups Proposition 1. The correspondence R ijk R 0 ijk induces a homomorphism of ST 34/Z onto Γ(2)/N, where Z is the group generated by ωi 6 (index 2 subgroup of the center ci 6 of ST34), and N is a normal subgroup of Γ(2) included in Γ(6). Proof. We first show that we can choose a set of generators of ST34 as GenRef := {R 346, R 245, R 124, R 123, R 126, R 156 }. Set and a 1 = a 346, a 2 = a 245, a 3 = a 124, a 4 = a 123, a 5 = a 126, a 6 = a 156 R 1 = R 346, R 2 = R 245, R 3 = R 124, R 4 = R 123, R 5 = R 126, R 6 = R 156.

7 MONODROMY OF HYPERGEOMETRIC SYSTEM 7 Note that the inner products of the six roots are given as 2 c c c 0 ((a i, a j ) H ) i,j=1,...,6 = c c c The six reflections are related as R 1 R 2 R 3 R 5 R 6 \ 3 / This diagram reads: If two reflections R, R GenRef are joined by an edge, then (RR ) 3 = I, otherwise they commute. The node with label 3 means the following: and {(a 3, a 4 ) H (a 4, a 5 ) H (a 5, a 3 ) H } 2 = c 2 R 4 (R 3 R 4 R 5 ) 2 (R 3 R 5 R 4 ) 2 = I. (= third root of unity), The structure theorem for ST34 established in [Shephard] asserts that the six reflections with the above relations form a set of generating reflections. Moreover it is shown that a generator of the center of ST34 is given as (R 1 R 2 R 3 R 4 R 5 R 6 ) 7 = ci. We next show the corresponding relations for the reflections R 0 1 = R 0 346, R 0 2 = R 0 245, R 0 3 = R 0 124, R 0 4 = R 0 123, R 0 5 = R 0 126, R 0 6 = R hold modulo 6: For R a, R b GenRef, if (R a R b ) 2 = I then (R 0 ar 0 b )2 = I. (Note that we do not need modulo 6.) For R a, R b GenRef, if (R a R b ) 3 = I then (R 0 ar 0 b )3 I mod 6. For the node with label 3, using the same notational convention as above, For the center, we have (R 0 3R 0 4R 0 5) 2 (R 0 3R 0 5R 0 4) 2 I mod 6. (R 0 1R 0 2R 0 3R 0 4R 0 5R 0 6) 7 I mod 6. All the above relations can be shown by computation. Theorem 1. (1) N = Γ(6) and (2) Γ(1) = Γ(2), Γ(3) and ST 34/ ωi 6 Γ(2)/Γ(6) Γ(2), Γ(3) /Γ(3). Γ/Γ(3) GO 6 (3), Γ(1)/Γ(3) GΩ 6 (3). Proof. (1) Orders of ST 34/ ωi 6 and GΩ6 (3) are equal to 4 G. Consider the following maps ST 34 ϕ Γ(2)/N f 1 Γ(2)/Γ(6) f 2 Γ(2), Γ(3) /Γ(3) f 3 GΩ6 (3), where f 1, f 2 are naturally defined and f 3 is given by the natural projection p : Γ(2), Γ(3) GΩ 6 (3). Note that f 1 is surjective and its kernel is Γ(6)/N, f 2 is bijective, and that f 3 is injective.

8 8 KEIJI MATSUMOTO, TAKESHI SASAKI, AND MASAAKI YOSHIDA Put f = f 3 f 2 f 1, and consider its kernel M. Since M is normal in Γ(2)/N ST 34/ ω, there are few possibilities. Since the image of f has enough many elements, M does not contain G. We can easily see that I 6 is mapped to I 6 by f. By comparing the orders of Γ(2)/N and GΩ 6 (3), we conclude M = I 6 and f is bijective. Thus we conclude that f 3 is surjective, f 1 is injective and N = Γ(6). (2) It is clear that Γ(2), Γ(3) Γ(1). By the definitions of Γ(1) and GΩ6 (3), we can regard Γ(1)/Γ(3) as a subgroup of GΩ6 (3) by the natural projection p. Since f 3 is surjective, p( Γ(2), Γ(3) ) Γ(2), Γ(3) /Γ(3) GΩ6 (3) p(γ(1)). Thus we have Γ(2), Γ(3) Γ(1). 8. Concluding remarks 8.1. Geometric interpretation. Since the domain H is simply connected, the Schwarz map s(1/2) : X H can be thought of the universal branched covering branching along X ijk with index 2. The Schwarz map s(1/6) also branches along X ijk with index 2. Thus, if M( P 5 ) denotes the image of this Schwarz map, the composed map s(1/6) s(1/2) 1 : H M is single-valued. morphism Moreover, the theorem above implies that this map induces a H/Γ(6) M An elliptic analogue. Recall the original hypergeometric differential equation E(a, b, c) : x(1 x)u + {c (a + b + 1)x}u abu = 0, and the Schwarz map s(a, b, c) : C {0, 1} x u(x) : v(x) P 1, where u and v are linearly independent solutions of E(a, b, c). It is classically well known that the projective monodromy group of E(1/2, 1/2, 1) is conjugate to the elliptic modular group Γ 1 (2), where Γ 1 (k) = {g SL 2 (Z) g I 2 mod k}/center, which is a free group, and acts properly discontinuously and freely on the upper half-plane H 1 = {τ C Iτ > 0}, and the Schwarz map s(1/2, 1/2, 1) gives the developing map of the universal covering H 1 C {0, 1} inducing the isomorphism C {0, 1} = H 1 /Γ 1 (2). On the other hand, the projective monodromy group of E(1/6, 1/6, 1/3) is the tetrahedral group. Note that we have isomorphisms Γ 1 (2)/Γ 1 (6) = Γ 1 (1)/Γ 1 (3) = tetrahedral group. Thus our main theorem can be thought of a generalization of this famous fact. Furthermore, this is not only an analogue: if we restrict the equations E(3, 6; 1/2) and E(3, 6; 1/6) to the singular strata X ijk, X ijk X lmn,..., we will end up with
