On Confluences of General Hypergeometric Systems

چکیده
We extend the well-known results about the process of confluence for the Gauss hypergeometric differential equation to the case of general hypergeometric systems. We see that the process of confluence comes from the geometry of the set of regular elements of the Lie algebra of complex general linear group. As a consequence, we give a geometric and group-theoretic view on the process of confluence for classical special functions.

The Hypergeometric Coupon Collection Problem and its Dual
Suppose an urn contains M balls, of different types, which are removed from the urn in a uniform random manner. In the hypergeometric coupon collection problem, we are interested in the set of balls that have been removed at the moment when at least one ball of each type has been removed. In its dual, we are interested in the set of removed balls at the first moment that this set contains all o...
متن کاملSediment routing through channel confluences: Particle tracing in a gravel-bed river headwaters
Sediment routing in gravel-bed rivers refers to the intermittent transport and storage of bedload particles, where short-duration steps are separated by periods of inactivity. Channel morphology governs sediment routing, but morphologic effects on routing in headwater systems are not well understood compared to lowland systems. RFID tracers are a valuable tool that can be employed to characteri...
متن کاملGG-functions and their relations to A-hypergeometric functions
In [1] I.M.Gelfand introduced the conception of hypergeometric functions, associated with the Grassmanian Gk,n of k-dimensional subspaces in C . The class of these functions includes many classical hypergeometric functions as particular cases. Series of consequent papers of I.M.Gelfand and his coathors ([2]–[6]) are devoted to the theory of these functions. In particular, the paper [4] is devot...
متن کاملIncomplete A-Hypergeometric Systems
The incomplete gamma function and incomplete beta function are important special functions in statistics. In modern theory of special functions, we regard hypergeometric functions as pairings of twisted cycles and twisted cocycles [1, Chap 2]. However, domains of integrations of these incomplete functions are not cycles. Solutions of A-hypergeometric systems ([3], [7, p.221]) have integral repr...
متن کاملEssays on the Theory of Elliptic Hypergeometric Functions
We give a brief review of the main results of the theory of elliptic hypergeometric functions — a new class of special functions of mathematical physics. We prove the most general univariate exact integration formula generalizing Euler’s beta integral, which is called the elliptic beta integral. An elliptic analogue of the Gauss hypergeometric function is constructed together with the elliptic ...
