In 2003, Rodriguez Villegas conjectured 14 supercongruences between hypergeometric functions arising as periods of certain families of rigid Calabi-Yau threefolds and the Fourier coefficients of weight 4 modular forms. Uniform proofs of…

Gauss hypergeometric functions with a dihedral monodromy group can be expressed as elementary functions, since their hypergeometric equations can be transformed to Fuchsian equations with cyclic monodromy groups by a quadratic change of the…
Let $\lambda \in \mathbb{Q}\setminus \{0, -1\}$ and $l \geq 2$. Denote by $C_{l,\lambda}$ the nonsingular projective algebraic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with affine equation given by $$y^l=(x-1)(x^2+\lambda).$$ In this paper we give a…
In this paper, we give an algorithm to generate connection formulas of generalized hypergeometric functions ${}_p F_{p-1}$ for degenerated values of parameters. We also show that these connection formulas give a fast method for numerical…
We show various supercongruences for truncated series which involve central binomial coefficients and harmonic numbers. The corresponding infinite series are also evaluated.
We construct integrable pseudopotentials with an arbitrary number of fields in terms of generalized hypergeometric functions. These pseudopotentials yield some integrable (2+1)-dimensional hydrodynamic type systems. An interesting class of…
Series containing the digamma function arise when calculating the parametric derivatives of the hypergeometric functions and play a role in evaluation of Feynman diagrams. As these series are typically non-hypergeometric, a few instances…
In this paper a natural generalization of the familiar H -function of Fox namely the I -function is proposed. Convergence conditions, various series representations, elementary properties and special cases for the I -function have also been…
Andrews, Dyson, and Hickerson showed that 2 $q$-hypergeometric series, going back to Ramanujan, are related to real quadratic fields, which explains interesting properties of their Fourier coefficients. There is also an interesting relation…
Starting from a description of various generalized function algebras based on sequence spaces, we develop the general framework for considering linear problems with singular coefficients or non linear problems. Therefore, we prove…
We show a connection formula for the $q$-confluent hypergeometric functions ${}_2\varphi_1(a,b;0;q,x)$. Combining our connection formula with Zhang's connection formula for ${}_2\varphi_0(a,b;-;q,x)$, we obtain the connection formula for…
It is shown that the classical quadratic and cubic transformation identities satisfied by the hypergeometric function ${}_3F_2$ can be extended to include additional parameter pairs, which differ by integers. In the extended identities,…
Hypergeometric class equations are given by second order differential operators in one variable whose coefficient at the second derivative is a polynomial of degree $\leq2$, at the first derivative of degree $\leq1$ and the free term is a…
We obtain new inequalities for certain hypergeometric functions. Using these inequalities, we deduce estimates for the hyperbolic metric and the induced distance function on a certain canonical hyperbolic plane domain.
We derive a convergent expansion of the generalized hypergeometric function ${}_{p-1}F_p$ in terms of the Bessel functions ${}_{0}F_1$ that holds uniformly with respect to the argument in any horizontal strip of the complex plane. We…
Projective connections arise from equivalence classes of affine connections under the reparametrization of geodesics. They may also be viewed as quotient systems of the classical geodesic equation. After studying the link between integrals…
We present some results and open problems related to expansions of the field of real numbers by hypergeometric and related functions focussing on definability and model completeness questions. In particular, we prove the strong model…
We find two-sided inequalities for the generalized hypergeometric function of the form ${_{q+1}}F_{q}(-x)$ with positive parameters restricted by certain additional conditions. Both lower and upper bounds agree with the value of…
In 1879, Thomae discussed the relations between two generic hypergeometric $_3F_2$-series with argument 1. It is well-known since then that there are 120 such relations (including the trivial ones which come from permutations of the…
