The authors extend their previous work [J. Funct. Anal. 142, No. 2, 494-510 (1996; Zbl 0871.32016)] on explicit formulas for the Bergman kernel function for special classes of Reinhardt domains. They represent the Bergman kernel function of the domain \(\{z\in\mathbf C^n: |z_1|^{r_1} + \dots + |z_n|^{r_n} <1\}\), where each \(r_j\) is a positive rational number, as a finite sum of Appell's multivariate hypergeometric functions. The method applies in more generality: one example that the authors write explicitly is the Bergman kernel function of the domain \(\{z\in \mathbf C^{n+m}: |z_1|^{2/q_1} + \dots + |z_n|^{2/q_n} + (|z_{n+1}|^2 + \dots + |z_{n+m}|^2)^p <1\}\), where each \(q_j\) is a positive integer and \(p\) is an arbitrary positive real number. (Subsequently, the reviewer, \textit{Siqi Fu} and \textit{Emil J. Straube} computed this Bergman kernel function from a different point of view [The Bergman kernel function: Explicit formulas and zeroes, Proc. Am. Math. Soc., to appear (1998)].) The explicit formulas can be used to obtain asymptotic formulas for the Bergman kernel function near the boundary, and the authors provide details for the domain \(\{z\in \mathbf C^2: |z_1|^{2p_1} + |z_2|^{2p_2} <1\}\), where \(p_1\) and \(p_2\) are positive integers.
