On certain integrals over spheres

If \(N(\cdot)\) denotes the square of the 2-norm and \(S^{n-1}\) is the unit sphere in \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\), the main result may be written \[ \int_{S^{n-1}}(1-\lambda (N(x))^ a(N(y))^ b)^{-s}d\omega =_{a+b+1}F_{a+b}(s,\alpha;\beta;a^ ab^ b\lambda (a+b)^{-a-b}, \] where \(x\in {\mathbb{R}}^ p\), \(y\in {\mathbb{R}}^ q\), \({\mathbb{R}}^ p\oplus {\mathbb{R}}^ q={\mathbb{R}}^ n\); s,\(\lambda \in {\mathbb{C}}\), \(|\lambda | <1\); a,\(b\in {\mathbb{N}}\); and \(\alpha =({1\over2}p/a,({1\over2}p+1)/a,...,({1\over2}p+a- 1)/a,{1\over2}q/b,({1\over2}q+1)/b,...,({1\over2}q+b-1)/b),\quad\beta =({1\over2}n/(a+b),({1\over2}n+1)/(a+b),...,({1\over2}n+a+b-1)/(a+b))\) denote arrays of parameters for the hypergeometric function \(_{a+b+1}F_{a+b}\). Some applications of the main formula to deformations of Hopf's maps are indicated.
