Abstract

The Dixon--Anderson integral is a multi-dimensional integral evaluation fundamental to the theory of the Selberg integral. The 1ψ1_1\psi_1 summation is a bilateral generalization of the qq-binomial theorem. It is shown that a qq-generalization of the Dixon--Anderson integral, due to Evans, and multi-dimensional generalizations of the 1ψ1_1\psi_1 summation, due to Milne and Gustafson, can be viewed as having a common origin in the theory of qq-difference equations as expounded by Aomoto. Each is shown to be determined by a qq-difference equation of rank one, and a certain asymptotic behavior. In calculating the latter, essential use is made of the concepts of truncation, regularization and connection formulae.
