چکیده
This survey article (which will appear as a chapter in the book “Computer Algebra in Quantum Field Theory: Integration, Summation and Special Functions”, Springer-Verlag) provides a small collection of basic material on multiple hypergeometric series of Appell-type and of more general series of related type.

Seiberg-Witten Theory of Rank Two Gauge Groups and Hypergeometric Series
In SU(2) Seiberg-Witten theory, it is known that the dual pair of fields are expressed by hypergeometric functions. As for the theory with SU(3) gauge symmetry without matters, it was shown that the dual pairs of fields can be expressed by means of the Appell function of type F4. These expressions are convenient for analyzing analytic properties of fields. We investigate the relation between Se...
متن کاملAppell hypergeometric partial differential equations
Mathematicians often speak of the unity of their subject. Such a unity from the 19th century origins in the history of linear ordinary differential equations, especially those closely connected with elliptic and modular functions. It is concerned with the impact of group theoretical and geometrical ideas upon the problem of understanding the nature of the solutions to a differential equation (s...
متن کاملThree Lectures on Hypergeometric Functions
In this course we will study multivariate hypergeometric functions in the sense of Gel’fand, Kapranov, and Zelevinsky (GKZ systems). These functions generalize the classical hypergeometric functions of Gauss, Horn, Appell, and Lauricella. We will emphasize the algebraic methods of Saito, Sturmfels, and Takayama to construct hypergeometric series and the connection with deformation techniques in...

A short review of the method for the tensor reduction of Feynman integrals based on recurrence relations w.r.t. space-time dimension d is given. A solution of the difference equation w.r.t. d for the n-point one-loop integrals with arbitrary momenta and masses is presented. The result is written as multiple hypergeometric series depending on ratios of Gram determinants. For the 3-point function...
متن کاملExploring multivariate Padé approximants for multiple hypergeometric series
We investigate the approximation of some hypergeometric functions of two variables, namely the Appell functions Fi, i = 1, . . . , 4, by multivariate Padé approximants. Section 1 reviews the results that exist for the projection of the Fi onto x = 0 or y = 0, namely, the Gauss function 2F1(a, b; c; z), since a great deal is known about Padé approximants for this hypergeometric series. Section 2...
