We show that the spectrum of these operators on the set of hypergeometric functions is the set n^a with a an integer and n a positive integer, and that the polylogarithms play a dominant role in the study of the eigenfunctions of the Hecke operators Un on the set of hypergeometric functions. As a corollary of our results on simultaneous eigen- functions, we also obtain an apriori unrelated result regarding the behavior of completely multiplicative hypergeometric coefficients.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-05-17T14:59:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11F25", "33C05" ], "keywords": [ "hypergeometric functions", "hecke operators", "formal power series", "polylogarithms play", "dominant role" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1005.2946M" } } }
