A generalization of Clausen's identity
The paper aims to generalize Clausen's identity to the square of any Gauss
hypergeometric function. Accordingly, solutions of the related 3rd order linear
differential equation are found in terms of certain bivariate series that can
reduce to 3F2 series similar to those in Clausen's identity. The general
contiguous variation of Clausen's identity is found. The related Chaundy's
identity is generalized without any restriction on the parameters of Gauss
hypergeometric function. The special case of dihedral Gauss hypergeometric
functions is underscored
Particle creation in a Robertson-Walker Universe revisited
We reanalyze the problem of particle creation in a 3+1 spatially closed
Robertson-Walker space-time. We compute the total number of particles produced
by this non-stationary gravitational background as well as the corresponding
total energy and find a slight discrepancy between our results and those
recently obtained in the literatur
Period- and mirror-maps for the quartic K3
We study in detail mirror symmetry for the quartic K3 surface in P3 and the
mirror family obtained by the orbifold construction. As explained by Aspinwall
and Morrison, mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces can be entirely described in
terms of Hodge structures. (1) We give an explicit computation of the Hodge
structures and period maps for these families of K3 surfaces. (2) We identify a
mirror map, i.e. an isomorphism between the complex and symplectic deformation
parameters, and explicit isomorphisms between the Hodge structures at these
points. (3) We show compatibility of our mirror map with the one defined by
Morrison near the point of maximal unipotent monodromy. Our results rely on
earlier work by Narumiyah-Shiga, Dolgachev and Nagura-Sugiyama.Comment: 29 pages, 3 figure
Multilateral inversion of A_r, C_r and D_r 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 6-psi-6 summation theorem, and
involves two infinite matrices which are not lower-triangular. The present
paper features three different multivariable generalizations of the above
result. These are extracted from Gustafson's A_r and C_r extensions and of the
author's recent A_r extension of Bailey's 6-psi-6 summation formula. By
combining these new multidimensional matrix inverses with A_r and D_r
extensions of Jackson's 8-phi-7 summation theorem three balanced
very-well-poised 8-psi-8 summation theorems associated with the root systems
A_r and C_r are derived.Comment: 24 page
New Finite Rogers-Ramanujan Identities
We present two general finite extensions for each of the two Rogers-Ramanujan
identities. Of these one can be derived directly from Watson's transformation
formula by specialization or through Bailey's method, the second similar
formula can be proved either by using the first formula and the q-Gosper
algorithm, or through the so-called Bailey lattice.Comment: 19 pages. to appear in Ramanujan
The interaction of a gap with a free boundary in a two dimensional dimer system
Let be a fixed vertical lattice line of the unit triangular lattice in
the plane, and let \Cal H be the half plane to the left of . We
consider lozenge tilings of \Cal H that have a triangular gap of side-length
two and in which is a free boundary - i.e., tiles are allowed to
protrude out half-way across . We prove that the correlation function of
this gap near the free boundary has asymptotics ,
, where is the distance from the gap to the free boundary. This
parallels the electrostatic phenomenon by which the field of an electric charge
near a conductor can be obtained by the method of images.Comment: 34 pages, AmS-Te
On WZ-pairs which prove Ramanujan series
The known WZ-proofs for Ramanujan-type series related to gave us the
insight to develop a new proof strategy based on the WZ-method. Using this
approach we are able to find more generalizations and discover first WZ-proofs
for certain series of this type.Comment: 12 pages (preprint) + 1 page (addendum). The addendum (A Maple

A new multivariable 6-psi-6 summation formula
By multidimensional matrix inversion, combined with an A_r extension of
Jackson's 8-phi-7 summation formula by Milne, a new multivariable 8-phi-7
summation is derived. By a polynomial argument this 8-phi-7 summation is
transformed to another multivariable 8-phi-7 summation which, by taking a
suitable limit, is reduced to a new multivariable extension of the
nonterminating 6-phi-5 summation. The latter is then extended, by analytic
continuation, to a new multivariable extension of Bailey's very-well-poised
6-psi-6 summation formula.Comment: 16 page
Multiple (inverse) binomial sums of arbitrary weight and depth and the all-order epsilon-expansion of generalized hypergeometric functions with one half-integer value of parameter
We continue the study of the construction of analytical coefficients of the
epsilon-expansion of hypergeometric functions and their connection with Feynman
diagrams. In this paper, we show the following results:
Theorem A: The multiple (inverse) binomial sums of arbitrary weight and depth
(see Eq. (1.1)) are expressible in terms of Remiddi-Vermaseren functions.
Theorem B: The epsilon expansion of a hypergeometric function with one
half-integer value of parameter (see Eq. (1.2)) is expressible in terms of the
harmonic polylogarithms of Remiddi and Vermaseren with coefficients that are
ratios of polynomials. Some extra materials are available via the www at this

Generalized Bernstein--Reznikov integrals
We find a closed formula for the triple integral on spheres in
whose kernel is
given by powers of the standard symplectic form. This gives a new proof to the
Bernstein--Reznikov integral formula in the case. Our method also applies
for linear and conformal structures
