Abstract

We prove an \({{\mathbb {F}}}_p\)-Selberg integral formula, in which the \({{\mathbb {F}}}_p\)-Selberg integral is an element of the finite field \({{\mathbb {F}}}_p\) with odd prime number p of elements. The formula is motivated by the analogy between multidimensional hypergeometric solutions of the KZ equations and polynomial solutions of the same equations reduced modulo p.

Notes

  1. In [23] Selberg remarks: “This paper was published with some hesitation, and in Norwegian, since I was rather doubtful that the results were new. The journal is one which is read by mathematics-teachers in the gymnasium, and the proof was written out in some detail so it should be understandable to someone who knew a little about analytic functions and analytic continuation.” See more in [11].
