Elliptic hypergeometric series

In mathematics, an elliptic hypergeometric series is a series Σcn such that the ratio cn/cn1 is an elliptic function of n, analogous to generalized hypergeometric series where the ratio is a rational function of n, and basic hypergeometric series where the ratio is a periodic function of the complex number n. They were introduced by Frenkel & Turaev (1997) in their study of elliptic 6-j symbols.

For surveys of elliptic hypergeometric series see Gasper & Rahman (2004) or Spiridonov (2008).
