Abstract

In 1984, the second author conjectured a quadratic transformation formula which relates two hypergeometric₂F₁ functions over a finite field F_q. We prove this conjecture in Theorem 2. The proof depends on a new linear transformation formula for pseudo-hypergeometric functions over F_q. Theorem 2 is then applied to give an elegant new transformation formula (Theorem 3) for₂F₁ functions over finite fields.
