| The purpose of this paper is to give an efficient method for solving the differentialequations of Calabi-Yau varietiesF(Γ) = x1n +···+ xnn +Γnx1···xnwith the help of A. G. B. Lauder's idea in [17].Firstly, we introduce some definitions and facts, including p-adic Dwork theoremand Dwork's Lefschetz fixed points thoerem.Secondly, we introduce the deformation theory. The basic idea is to make thesehypersurfaces move along an affine line. One can select a special fiber, whose zetafunction is easy to compute, and compute the zeta functions of those fibers near it byDwork's deformation theory. The deformation theory can be expressed by a differentialequation which is not easy to be written clearly. In this paper, we present an effectivealgorithm for computing the differential equation of Calabi-Yau varieties.At last, we explain the algorithm by showing an example with n=3 and the varietybeing given byF(Γ) = x13+ x23 + x33 + 3Γx1x2x3.we compute B(Γ) by some C programme with n=4 and the variety being given byF(Γ) = x14 + x24 + x34 + x44 + 4Γx1x2x3x4. |
