A NONTERMINATING 8φ7 SUMMATION FOR THE ROOT System Cr
نویسنده
چکیده
where aq = bcdef (cf. [9, Eq. (2.11.7)]), is one of the deepest results in the classical theory of basic hypergeometric series. It contains many important identities as special cases (such as the nonterminating 3φ2 summation, the terminating 8φ7 summation, and all their specializations including the q-binomial theorem). One way to derive (1.1) is to start with a particular rational function identity, namely Bailey’s [5] very-well-poised 10φ9 transformation, and apply a nontrivial limit procedure, see the exposition in Gasper and Rahman [9, Secs. 2.10 and 2.11]. Basic hypergeometric series (and, more generally, q-series) have various applications in combinatorics, number theory, representation theory, statistics, and physics, see Andrews [1], [2]. For a general account of the importance of basic hypergeometric series in the theory of special functions see Andrews, Askey, and Roy [4]. There are different types of multivariable series. The one we are concerned with are so-called multiple basic hypergeometric series associated to root systems (or, equivalently, to Lie algebras). This is mainly just a classification of certain multiple series according to the type of specific factors (such as a Vandermonde determinant)

A New Multivariable 6ψ6 Summation Formula
Abstract. By multidimensional matrix inversion, combined with an Ar extension of Jackson’s 8φ7 summation formula by Milne, a new multivariable 8φ7 summation is derived. By a polynomial argument this 8φ7 summation is transformed to another multivariable 8φ7 summation which, by taking a suitable limit, is reduced to a new multivariable extension of the nonterminating 6φ5 summation. The latter is ...

متن کاملNonterminating Basic Hypergeometric Series and the q-Zeilberger Algorithm
We present a systematic method for proving nonterminating basic hypergeometric identities. Assume that k is the summation index. By setting a parameter x to xqn, we may find a recurrence relation of the summation by using the q-Zeilberger algorithm. This method applies to almost all nonterminating basic hypergeometric summation formulas in the book of Gasper and Rahman. Furthermore, by comparin...
متن کاملMULTILATERAL INVERSION OF Ar, Cr AND Dr BASIC HYPERGEOMETRIC SERIES
In [Electron. J. Combin. 10 (2003), #R10], the author presented a new basic hypergeometric matrix inverse with applications to bilateral basic hypergeometric series. This matrix inversion result was directly extracted from an instance of Bailey’s very-well-poised 6ψ6 summation theorem, and involves two infinite matrices which are not lower-triangular. The present paper features three different ...
متن کاملA Multidimensional Generalization of Shukla's 8 Ψ 8 Summation
Abstract. We give an r-dimensional generalization of H. S. Shukla’s very-wellpoised 8ψ8 summation formula. We work in the setting of multiple basic hypergeometric series very-well-poised over the root system Ar−1, or equivalently, the unitary group U(r). Our proof, which is already new in the one-dimensional case, utilizes an Ar−1 nonterminating very-well-poised 6φ5 summation by S. C. Milne, a ...
