Noncommutative -Gauss summations for basic hypergeometric series
Noncommutative -Gauss summations for basic hypergeometric series
Let , , and be noncommutative parameters in a Banach algebra, with commuting with each of , , and . Assume that commutes with each of , , and , and that
Write for the noncommutative basic hypergeometric series and use the corresponding infinite noncommutative -shifted-factorial notation. Noncommutative -Gauss summations. The type I and type II series should satisfy, respectively,
and
These are noncommutative -analogues of Gauss summation formulas, extending the corresponding classical identities. Their validity is conjectural because they are obtained by taking the termwise limit in a finite summation; convergence and the interchange of limit and summation require justification in each case.
