not well-developed. The theory of A-hypergeometric functions did not exist at this
time and the system of equation for these functions i.e. the Gelfand-Kapranov-Zelevinsky
system (the GKZ system for short) was not known. All these objects appeared only
in the 80-s of the XX century. In the present paper using these results we do
generalize the results of Biedenharn and Baird to the case of general n.
The main result of the present paper is a formula for a function on the group
that correspond to a Gelfand-Tsetlin base vector (Theorems 5,6). This result makes
possible to give a new derivation of formulas for the action of generators, to obtain
formulas for the Clebsh-Gordan coefficients and so on.
The passage form the case n= 3 to the case n > 3needs new ideas and methods.
In the case n= 3 a formula for a function fcorresponding to a Gelfand-Tsetlin
diagram is derived using a presentation of fas a result of application of lowering
operators to a highest vector. It is not possible to generalize these considerations
in the case gl3to the case gln,n > 3since the formulas for the lowering operators
∇n,k become very complicated (see [8]). Also in the case n>4there appears a new
difficulty because of the fact that argumets of the function f, which are minors of
a matrix, are not independent, they satify the Plucker relations.
A possible way to overcome these difficulties is to use ideas form the complex
analysis to find an analogue in the case n>4of a function corresponding to a
Gelfand-Tsetlin diagram in the case n= 3. This is done in the present paper. A
function of an element g∈GLNby analogy with the case n= 3, is written as a
function of minors of g. We note that in the case gl3the considered function can be
written as an A-hypergeometric function. By analogy with the case gl3for n > 3
we try to find the function of interest as an A-hypergeometric function of minors.
This function is defined as a sum of a series called a Γ-series. A Γ-series is a sum
of monomials divided by factorials of exponents. And the set of the exponents of
monomials in this series is a shifted lattice in the space of all possible exponents.
It turns out that it is possible to relate with a Gelfand-Tsetlin diagram a system
of equations that defines a shifted lattice in the space of exponents (see Section
4.1). Thus to each Gelfand-Tsetlin diagram there corresponds a Γ-series (which
is actually a finite sum). It is proved that the constructed functions belong to a
canonical embedding of an irreducible finite dimensional representation into the
functional representation and form a base in it. But this approach does give a
solution of the posed problem. Even in the case gl4the construed functions do not
correspond to Gelfand-Tsetlin base vectors. Nevertheless the constructed base is
related to the Gelfand-Tsetlin base by a transformation which is upper-triangular
relatively some order on diagrams (see Section 6).
In order to prove that the constructed Γ-series form a base in a representation a
new system of PDE is constructed. This system is called the antysimmetrized GKZ
system (A-GKZ for short, see Section 2). We construct a base in the space of it’s
polynomial solutions. It turns out that there is a bijective correspondence between
the constructed Γ-series and the constructed basic solutions of the A-GKZ system
(Theorem 2).
Then we show that the constructed base solutions also belong to a canonical
embedding of an irreducible finite dimensional representation of glninto the functional
representation, they form a base in it. This base is related to the Gelfand-Tsetlin
