$A$-hypergeometric series associated to a lattice polytope with a unique interior lattice point

Abstract

We associate to lattice points a_0,a_1,...,a_N in Z^n an A-hypergeometric series \Phi(\lambda) with integer coefficients. If a_0 is the unique interior lattice point of the convex hull of a_1,...,a_N, then for every prime p\neq 2 the ratio \Phi(\lambda)/\Phi(\lambda^p) has a p-adic analytic continuation to a closed unit polydisk minus a neighborhood of a hypersurface.
