# Dwork crystals II

## TL;DR

This paper generalizes $p$-adic congruences related to truncated period functions, extending Dwork's original work on hypergeometric functions to a broader class of functions.

## Contribution

It introduces a new generalization of $p$-adic congruences for truncated period functions beyond hypergeometric functions.

## Key findings

- Extended Dwork's $p$-adic congruences to new classes of functions
- Provided a broader framework for understanding truncated period functions
- Potential applications in number theory and algebraic geometry

## Abstract

We give a generalization of $p$-adic congruences for truncated period functions, that were originally discovered for a class of hypergeometric functions by Bernard Dwork.
