A bilateral extension of the $q$-Selberg integral

Complex Variables 2017-01-11 v6

Abstract

A multi-dimensional bilateral qq-series extending the qq-Selberg integral is studied using concepts of truncation, regularization and connection formulae. Following Aomoto's method, which involves regarding the qq-series as a solution of a qq-difference equation fixed by its asymptotic behavior, an infinite product evaluation is obtained. The qq-difference equation is derived applying the shifted symmetric polynomials introduced by Knop and Sahi. As a special case of the infinite product formula, Askey--Evans's qq-Selberg integral evaluation and its generalization by Tarasov--Varchenko and Stokman is reclaimed, and an explanation in the context of Aomoto's setting is thus provided.
