Abstract

We study a Pfaffian of Appell's hypergeometric system of differential equations by twisted cohomology groups associated with Euler type integrals representing solutions. We simplify its connection matrix by the pull-back under a double cover of the complement of the singular locus. We express the simplified connection matrix in terms of the intersection form between the twisted cohomology groups.
