Zagier's modularity conjecture for integral differential-equation solutions
Zagier's modularity conjecture for integral differential-equation solutions
Let be a non-degenerate quadratic polynomial, and consider the differential equation
An integral solution is a solution at of the form
with for every . A solution is modular if it is a modular form expressed locally in terms of a modular function for a monodromy group contained in . Zagier's modularity conjecture. Any integral solution of the differential equation is modular.
Zagier's computer search found essentially six pairs with this integrality property, and in every such case the solution is modular. The conjecture asks whether this phenomenon holds for every non-degenerate quadratic and remains open.
