A family of orthogonal functions on the unit circle and a new multilateral matrix inverse

(16 pages)

Abstract. Using Bailey's very-well-poised 6Ψ6 summation, we show that a specific sequence of well-poised bilateral basic hypergeometric 3Ψ3 series form a family of orthogonal functions on the unit circle. We further extract a bilateral matrix inverse from Dougall's 2H2 summation which we use, in combination with the Pfaff-Saalschütz summation, to derive a summation for a particular bilateral hypergeometric 3H3 series. We finally provide multivariate extensions of the bilateral matrix inverse and the 3H3 summation in the setting of hypergeometric series associated to the root system Ar.
