We introduce new kind of $p$-adic hypergeometric functions. We show these functions satisfy congruence relations, so they are convergent functions. And we show that there is a transformation formula between our new $p$-adic hypergeometric…

Dwork's $p$-adic hypergeometric function is defined to be a ratio ${}_sF_{s-1}(t)/{}_sF_{s-1}(t^p)$ of hypergeometric power series. Dwork showed that it is a uniform limit of rational functions, and hence one can define special values on…

We prove two transformations for the $p$-adic hypergeometric functions which can be described as $p$-adic analogues of a Euler's transformation and a transformation of Clausen. We first evaluate certain character sums, and then relate them…

In this article we give an example of a matrix version of the famous congruence for hypergeometric functions found by Dwork in 'p-adic cycles'.

In this paper, we recall hypergeometric functions $\mathscr{F}^{\rm Dw}_{a_1,\cdots,a_s}(t),$ $\mathscr{F}^{(\sigma)}_{a_1,\cdots,a_s}(t)$, $\widehat{\mathscr{F}}^{(\sigma)}_{a,\cdots,a}(t)$ and their transformation formulas. Then we prove…

This paper introduces a $p$-adic analogue of Gauss's hypergeometric function, constructed via a method that is distinct from distinct from Dwork's approach. The idea of our construction is motivated by the Ohno-Zagier formula, which is…

We present an elementary elaboration of Dwork's idea of explicit $p$-adic limit formulas for zeta functions of toric hypersurfaces.

We provide a formula for the number of $\mathbb{F}_{p}$-points on the Dwork hypersurface $$x_1^n + x_2^n \dots + x_n^n - n \lambda \, x_1 x_2 \dots x_n=0$$ in terms of a $p$-adic hypergeometric function previously defined by the author.…

In \cite{mccarthy2}, McCarthy defined a function $_{n}G_{n}[\cdots]$ using the Teichm\"{u}ller character of finite fields and quotients of the $p$-adic gamma function. This function extends hypergeometric functions over finite fields to the…

We prove two transformations for the $p$-adic hypergeometric series which can be described as $p$-adic analogues of a Kummer's linear transformation and a transformation of Clausen. We first evaluate two character sums, and then relate them…

We give a new method to prove in a uniform and easy way various transformation formulas for Gauss hypergeometric functions. The key is Jacobi's canonical form of the hypergeometric differential equation. Analogy for $q$-hypergeometric…

This article gives a classification scheme of algebraic transformations of Gauss hypergeometric functions, or pull-back transformations between hypergeometric differential equations. The classification recovers the classical transformations…

We define the adelic hypergeometric function of special Gaussian type by means of a tower of hypergeometric curves. This function takes values in an adelic completed group ring and interpolates all the hypergeometric functions of the same…

We give an exposition of Dwork's construction of Frobenius structures associated to generalized hypergeometric equations via the interpretation of the latter due to Gelfand-Kapranov-Zelevinsky in the language of A-hypergeometric systems. As…

We introduce a new type of $p$-adic hypergeometric functions, which are generalizations of $p$-adic hypergeometric functions of logarithmic type defined by Asakura, and show that these functions satisfy the congruence relations similar to…

The hypergeometric and Heun functions are classical special functions. Transformation formulas between them are commonly induced by pull-back transformations of their differential equations, with respect to some coverings P1-to-P1. This…

The paper classifies algebraic transformations of Gauss hypergeometric functions with the local exponent differences $(1/2,1/4,1/4)$, $(1/2,1/3,1/6)$ and $(1/3,1/3,1/3)$. These form a special class of algebraic transformations of Gauss…

We describe the action of the Dwork-Frobenius operator on certain $A$-hypergeometric series. As a consequence, we obtain an integrality result for the coefficients of those series. This implies an integrality result for classical…

We examine hypergeometric functions in the finite field, p-adic and classical settings. In each setting, we prove a formula which splits the hypergeometric function into a sum of lower order functions whose arguments differ by roots of…

(Dieudonn\'e and) Dwork's lemma gives a necessary and sufficient condition for an exponential of a formal power series $S(z)$ with coefficients in $Q_p$ to have coefficients in $Z_p$. We establish theorems on the $p$-adic valuation of the…
