Some Infinite Families of Arithmetic Symplectic Hypergeometric Groups
Using the idea of Venkataramana's construction of infinite families of arithmetic orthogonal hypergeometric groups, we construct some of the very first examples of infinite families of arithmetic symplectic hypergeometric groups that do NOT satisfy the arithmeticity criterion of Singh and Venkataramana. For example, we show that the hypergeometric groups associated to the pairs of polynomials $(x-1)^4P_m(x^{9})$ and $(x^4+x^3+2x^2+x+1)Q_m(x^{9})$, where $P_m$ and $Q_m$ are integral polynomials of degree $2m$ such that the corresponding pair determines a Zariski dense symplectic hypergeometric group, are arithmetic in $\operatorname{Sp}(18m+4)$ for any integer $m\in\mathbb{N}$.
