A quadratic hypergeometric 2F1 transformation over finite fields
Abstract
In 1984, the second author conjectured a quadratic transformation formula which relates two hypergeometric 2F1 functions over a finite field Fq. We prove this conjecture and give an application. The proof depends on a new linear transformation formula for pseudo hypergeometric functions over Fq.
