\(_4F_3\)-Gaussian hypergeometric series and traces of Frobenius for elliptic curves. (English) Zbl 1506.11150

Summary: In this article, we obtain finite field analogues of classical summation identities connecting \(F_3\)-Appell series and \(_4F_3\)-classical hypergeometric series. As an application, we establish a new summation formula satisfied by the \(_4F_3\)-Gaussian hypergeometric series. We further express certain special values of \(_4F_3\)-Gaussian hypergeometric series in terms of traces of the Frobenius endomorphisms of certain families of elliptic curves. We also explicitly find some special values of \(_4F_3\)-Gaussian hypergeometric series.
