Abstract: We study multivariable (bilateral) basic hypergeometric series associated with (type $A$) Macdonald polynomials. We derive several transformation and summation properties for such series including analogues of Heine's ${}_{2}ph{i}_1$ transformation, the $q$-Pfaff-Kummer and Euler transformations, the $q$-Saalsch"utz summation formula and Sear's transformation for terminating, balanced ${}_{4}ph{i}_3$ series. For bilateral series, we rederive Kaneko's analogue of the ${}_{1}ps{i}_1$ summation formula and give multivariable extensions of Bailey's ${}_{2}ps{i}_2$ transformations.

Review text

Here a multivariable (bilateral) basic hypergeometric series associated with (type A) Macdonald polynomials is studied. The aim of the present work is to supplement some of the existing knowledge with some new transformation and summation formulas in this multivariable setting as well as providing alternative derivations of known results. \S 2 of this paper exhibits a multivariable extension of Heine's \(_2\varphi_1\) transformations. The Euler transformation is derived in \S 3 from the defining difference equations for the \(_2\varphi_1\) series. \S 4 treats the \(q\)-Saalschütz formula, while the \(q\)-Pfaff-Kummer transformation for \(_2\varphi_1\) and Sear's transformation for terminating, balanced \(_4\varphi_3\) series are studied in \S 5. Bilateral series are discussed in \S 6 where the \(_1\psi_1\) summation formula is derived using a shifted version of the multivariable Gauss summation formula, and various \(_2\psi_2\) transformations are derived using two different methods.
