U(n) Basic Hypergeometric Series
Multiple series generalizations of basic hypergeometric series over the unitary groups
. The fundamental theorem of
series takes
, ...,
and
, ...,
as indeterminates and
. Then
{product_(1<=r<s<=n)[(1-(x_r)/(x_s)q^(y_r-y_s))/(1-(x_r)/(x_s))]×product_(r,s=1)^n[(((x_r)/(x_s)c_s;q)_(y_r))/((q(x_r)/(x_s);q)_(y_r))][q^(y_2+2y_3+...+(n-1)y_n)]}, " src="http://mathworld.wolfram.com/images/equations/UnBasicHypergeometricSeries/NumberedEquation1.gif" style="height:122px; width:453px" /> |
where it is assumed that none of the denominators vanish (Bhatnagar 1995, p. 22). The series in this theorem is called an
series (Milne 1985; Bhatnagar 1995, p. 22).
Many other
-results, including the q-binomial theorem and q-Saalschütz sum, can be generalized to
series.
