Multivariate basic hypergeometric series associated to root systems of type \(A_{m}\) (Q596705)

In this paper the author continues the work started in an earlier joint paper with \textit{R. A. Gustafson} [Ann. Comb. 4, No.3-4, 347-373 (2000; Zbl 0971.33009)], where two new multivariate \(q\)-beta integrals associated with the root systems of the classical Lie algebra of type \(A_{m}\) were established. In conjunction with these integrals the authors of the above cited paper discovered two new kinds of multivariate basic hypergeometric series associated with the root system \(A_{m}\). In the paper under review the author gives a detailed proof of a theorem containing formulas for these multivariate basic hypergeometric series. These formulas generalize Jackson's \(_{8}\Psi_{7}\) sum. Possible applications of the formulas for integrals and series of the type considered in this paper would be in the theory of orthogonal polynomials of several variables.
