Abstract: One of spectacular results in mathematical physics is the expression of Racah matrices for symmetric representations of the quantum group SUq(2) through the Askey-Wilson polynomials, associated with the q-hypergeometric functions 4phi3. Recently it was shown that this is in fact the general property of symmetric representations, valid for arbitrary SUq(N), at least for exclusive Racah matrices . The natural question then is what substitutes the conventional q-hypergeometric polynomials when representations are more general? New advances in the theory of matrices , provided by the study of differential expansions of knot polynomials, suggest that these are multiple sums over Young sub-diagrams of the one, which describes the original representation of SUq(N). A less trivial fact is that the entries of the sum are not just the factorized combinations of quantum dimensions, as in the ordinary hypergeometric series, but involve non-factorized quantities, like the skew characters and their further generalizations -- as well as associated additional summations with the Littlewood-Richardson weights.
