Formula for ${}_2F_1(h,-n, 2h; 2)$.












1












$begingroup$


Does anyone know a closed form for the following evaluations of the Hypergeometric function
$$
{}_2F_1(h,-n, 2h; t^{-1})
$$

with $h>0,ngeq 0$ both integers and $0leq tleq 1$ a real. For the most part I'm interested in $t=1/2$ case.



Context: I just found these in my conformal field theory study of quantum Hall states. I don't know much about hypergeometric functions.



Alternative Formula: In case it matters, this is the original sum that I found:
$$
{}_2F_1(h,-n, 2h; x) = sum_{k=0}^n frac{binom{n}{k}binom{h+k-1}{k}}{binom{2h+n-1}{k}}frac{(-1)^k}{x^k}
$$

which Wolfram Mathematica idetified as the hypergeometric function.



Some Numerical Observations: From the numerical checks I have done, it seems when $n$ is odd, then ${}_2F_1(h,-n, 2h; 2)=0$. For the first few even values, it seems like for $n=2m$ the trend is
$$
{}_2F_1(h,-2m, 2h; 2) = prod_{j=0}^{m-1}frac{2j+1}{2(h+j)+1}
$$



Are these observations for $n=$odd and $n=$even true generally? Is there a proof somewhere?

          begin{equation}
          {}_2F_1(-n,h; 2h;2)=2^{-n - 1}frac{n! }{(n/2)!}frac{(1 + (-1)^n)Gamma(h + 1/2)}{Gamma(h + (n + 1)/2)}
          end{equation}

          It vanishes if $n$ is odd. If $n=2m$,
          begin{equation}
          {}_2F_1(-2m,h; 2h;2)=2^{-2m}frac{(2m)! }{m!}frac{Gamma(h + 1/2)}{Gamma(h + m+1/2)}

          which can be written as
          begin{align}
          {}_2F_1(-2m,h; 2h;2)&=2^{-2m}frac{2^mm!1.3.5cdots(2m-1)}{m!}frac{Gamma(h + 1/2)}{Gamma(h + 1/2).left( h+3/2).(h+5/2)cdotsleft( h+m+1/2) right) right)}\
