Review text

To Selberg's integral (1944) over \([0,1]^n\) exists a \(q\)-analogue \(S_n\), which may be expressed as a product whose factors involve \(q\)-gamma functions. This formula is called the Askey conjecture although it has been proved; and in the present paper the author gives a new proof. It is rather lengthy, and we can here merely say that an important idea is the construction of two determinants whose elements involve \(q\)-hypergeometric functions; also, \(q\)-integration plays a significant role. Finally, a recursion formula for \(S_n\) emerges, from which the result follows by induction.
