The study of matrix quantum group coactions on the noncommutative disk algebra turns up the following series, which is a $q$-deformation of the negative binomial series, for integer $t\ge 0$, complex $...

This question has been completely reformulated and a new property for the function $f_q$ has been added due to a series of helpful comments by fedja. Consider the integral from quantum field theory ...

Consider the Fibonacci polynomials $$F_n (x) = \sum_{j = 0}^{\left\lfloor {n/2} \right\rfloor }\binom{n-j}{j} x^{n - 2j} $$ and the Lucas polynomials $$L_n (x) = \sum_{j = 0}^{\left\lfloor {n/2} \...

Here a basic hypergeometric function is the analytic continuation of the basic hypergeometric series (or called the $q$-hypergeometric series) $$ {}_2\phi_1(a, b; c; q, z) = \sum^{\infty}_{n = 0} \...

This question is inspired by another recent one here, Characterization of the hypergeometric function. The latter is about the classical result of Riemann characterizing the hypergeometric functions ...

I've run across an interesting hypergeometric $q$-series that I feel must have been found before: $\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(-1)^n$$\frac{e^{n b y}}{\prod_{k=1}^{n}(e^{\pi k b^2}-e^{\pi k b^{-2}})} = \...
