Lines on one-parameter calabi-yau hypersurfaces

In this thesis, we investigate the behavior of families of lines on one-parameter projective hypersurfaces via the inhomogeneous Picard-Fuchs equation satisfied by the normal functions of the corresponding algebraic cycles. Since the algebraic cycles are geometric invariants, their monodromies aroun...
