A. Varchenko, QUANTIZED KNIZHNIK-ZAMOLODCHIKOV EQUATIONS, QUANTUM YANG-BAXTER EQUATION, AND DIFFERENCE-EQUATIONS FOR Q-HYPERGEOMETRIC FUNCTIONS, Communications in Mathematical Physics, 162(3), 1994, pp. 499-528
The Sl2 quantized Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov equations are solved in q-hyp
ergeometric functions. New difference equations are derived for genera
l q-hypergeometric functions. The equations are given in terms of quan
tum Yang-Baxter matrices and have the form similar to quantum Knizhnik
-Zamolodchikov equations for quantum affine algebras introduced by Fre
nkel and Reshetikhin.
