Abstract: The holonomic rank of the A-hypergeometric system M_A(�eta) is the degree of the toric ideal I_A for generic parameters; in general, this is only a lower bound. To the semigroup ring of A we attach the ranking arrangement and use this algebraic invariant and the exceptional arrangement of nongeneric parameters to construct a combinatorial formula for the rank jump of M_A(�eta). As consequences, we obtain a refinement of the stratification of the exceptional arrangement by the rank of M_A(�eta) and show that the Zariski closure of each of its strata is a union of translates of linear subspaces of the parameter space. These results hold for generalized A-hypergeometric systems as well, where the semigroup ring of A is replaced by a nontrivial weakly toric module M contained in CC[�Z A]. We also provide a direct proof of the result of M. Saito and W. Traves regarding the isomorphism classes of M_A(�eta).
