On the number of $p$-hypergeometric solutions of KZ equations

It is known that solutions of the KZ equations can be written in the form of multidimensional hypergeometric integrals. In 2017 in a joint paper of the author with V. Schechtman the construction of hypergeometric solutions was modified, and solutions of the KZ equations modulo a prime number $p$ were constructed. These solutions modulo $p$, called the $p$-hypergeometric solutions, are polynomials with integer coefficients. A general problem is to determine the number of independent $p$-hypergeometric solutions and understand the meaning of that number. In this paper we consider the KZ equations associated with the space of singular vectors of weight $n-2r$ in the tensor power $W^{\otimes n}$ of the vector representation of $\frak{sl}_2$. In this case, the hypergeometric solutions of the KZ equations are given by $r$-dimensional hypergeometric integrals. We consider the module of the corresponding $p$-hypergeometric solutions, determine its rank, and show that the rank equals the dimension of the space of suitable square integrable differential $r$-forms.
