Abstract:
Fernando Rodriguez-Villegas has conjectured a number of supercongruences for hypergeometric Calabi-Yau manifolds of dimension . For manifolds of dimension , he observed four potential supercongruences. Later the author proved one of the four. Motivated by Rodriguez-Villegas's work, in the present paper we prove a general result on supercongruences between values of truncated hypergeometric functions and Gaussian hypergeometric functions. As a corollary to that result, we prove the three remaining supercongruences.
