Theta hypergeometric integrals

Abstract

A general class of (multiple) hypergeometric type integrals associated with the Jacobi theta functions is defined. These integrals are related to theta hypergeometric series via the residue calculus. In the one variable case, theta function extensions of the Meijer function are obtained. A number of multiple generalizations of the elliptic beta integral associated with the root systems $A_n$ and $C_n$ is described. Some of the $C_n$-examples were proposed earlier by van Diejen and the author, but other integrals are new. An example of the biorthogonality relations associated with the elliptic beta integrals is considered in detail.
