Infinite Products and Normalized Quotients of Hypergeometric Functions

From MaRDI portal





Let \(F(a,b;c;x)\) be the Gaussian hypergeometric function where \(a,b\) and \(c\) are real numbers and \(c\neq 0,-1, -2,\dots\;\). The authors consider the quotients of hypergeometric functions \[ \mu_\alpha(r)= cF(\alpha, 1-\alpha;1; 1-r^2)/ F(\alpha, 1-\alpha;1;r^2) \] where \(c= \pi/(2\sin (\pi\alpha))\). With this choice of \(c\), the modulus of the Grötzsch ring \(B^2\setminus [0,r]\) is \(\mu(r)\equiv \mu_{\frac 12} (r)\). A new infinite product expansion is given for \(\mu(r)\). It is shown that several well-known properties of \(\mu(r)\) have their counterparts for \(\mu_\alpha(r)\).
