This article extends the theory of generalized hypergeometric functions of Gelfand and others to those including the case corresponding the classical confluent hypergeometric functions. Let \(Z_{r,n}\) be the set of \(r\times n\) complex matrices of maximal rank. Let \(\lambda=(\lambda_ 1,\dots,\lambda_ \ell)\), \(\lambda_ 1+\dots+\lambda_ \ell=n\) be a partition. Let \(H_ \lambda:=J(\lambda_ 1)\times \dots\times J(\lambda_ \ell)\) denote the maximal commutative subgroup of \(GL(n,\mathbb{C})\) associated with the Young diagram defined by \(\lambda\). Let \(\chi_ \alpha\) be a character of the universal covering group of \(H_ \lambda\). Then a generalized confluent hypergeometric function \(F(z)\) on \(Z_{r,n}\) is defined as one satisfying \[ \begin{alignedat}{2} F(zc) &= F(z)\chi_ \alpha(c) \quad &&\text{for } c\in H_ \lambda,\\ F(gz) &= (\text{det }g)^{-1} F(z) \quad &&\text{for } g\in GL(r,\mathbb{C}).\end{alignedat} \] For \(\lambda=(1,\dots,1)\) this reduces to Gelfand's generalized hypergeometric function, and for \(\lambda=(n)\) to the generalized Airy function of Gelfand-Retahk-Serganova. The holonomicity, integral representation, symmetries, relations with the classical confluent hypergeometric functions are discussed.
