Formula for the product of Gauss hypergeometric functions and applications (Q2199015)

The \(\Gamma\)-series is defined by a lattice \(B \subset \mathbb Z^N\) and a fixed vector \(\gamma \subset \mathbb C^N\). This paper contains a formula for the product of two \(\Gamma\)-series in four variables, connected with the lattice \(B=\mathbb{Z}\langle(1,-1,-1,1)\rangle\). As a consequence of the formula for the product of \(\Gamma\)-series, a new formula for the product of Gauss hypergeometric functions \(_2F_1\) is obtained; it can be interpreted as a part of the explicit decomposition of the tensor product of two representations of \(\mathrm{gl}_{3}\) into the direct sum of irreducible representations. To derive a formula for the product of \(\Gamma\)-series, a technique based on new classes of decompositions is obtained from some equations in the Gel'fand-Kapranov-Zelevinskij system. These decompositions are taken with respect to powers of the function \(\left(z_{1} z_{4}-z_{2} z_{3}\right)\) the set of zeros of which is a component of the singular set of the Gel'fand-Kapranov-Zelevinskij system.
