### Some problems of hypergeometric integrals associated with hypersphere arrangement

#### Abstract

The $n$ dimensional hypergeometric integrals associated with a hypersphere arrangement $S$ are formulated by the pairing of $n$ dimensional twisted cohomology $H_{\nabla}^{n} (X, \Omega^{\cdot} (*S))$ and its dual. Under the condition of general position there are stated some results and conjectures which concern a representation of the standard form by a special basis of the twisted cohomology, the variational formula of the corresponding integral in terms of special invariant 1-forms using Calyley-Menger minor determinants, a connection relation of the unique twisted $n$-cycle identified with the unbounded chamber to a special basis of twisted $n$-cycles identified with bounded chambers. General conjectures are presented under a much weaker assumption.
