Abstract

Let AA be an integer matrix, and assume that its semigroup ring C[NA]\mathbb{C}[\mathbb{N}A] is normal. Fix a face FF of the cone of AA. We show that the projection and restriction of an AA-hypergeometric system to the coordinate subspace corresponding to FF are essentially FF-hypergeometric; moreover, at most one of them is nonzero. We also show that, if AA is in addition homogeneous, the holonomic dual of an AA-hypergeometric system is itself AA-hypergeometric. This extends a result of Uli Walther, proving a conjecture of Nobuki Takayama in the normal homogeneous case.
