Abstract

We show integrality of instanton numbers in several key examples of mirror symmetry. Our methods are essentially elementary, they are based on our previous work in the series of papers called Dwork crystals I, II and III.

Keywords

instanton number, Picard–Fuchs equation, Frobenius structure, $p$-adic cohomology
