$\Gamma$-evaluations of hypergeometric series

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2021-06-23 v2 Number Theory

Abstract

In this paper we explore special values of Gaussian hypergeometric functions in terms of products of Euler Γ\Gamma-functions and exponential functions of linear functions of the hypergeometric parameters. They include some classical evaluations, but the main inspiration is from the contiguity method recently applied by Akihito Ebisu.
