On a hypergeometric identity of Gelfand, Graev and Retakh

(11 pages)

Abstract. A hypergeometric identity equating a triple sum to a single sum, originally found by Gelfand, Graev and Retakh [Russian Math. Surveys 47 (1992), 1-88] by using systems of differential equations, is given hypergeometric proofs. As a bonus, several q-analogues can be derived.


The following versions are available:

as well as the Mathematica Notebook for the first proof in Section 2 of the article (click here for a PDF version) and the Mathematica Notebook for its q-analogue in Section 3.
