Symmetry of hypergeometric functions over finite fields and geometric interpretation
Abstract
We begin by defining general hypergeometric functions over finite fields and obtaining a finite field analogue of a classical symmetry in their complex counterparts. We give a geometric proof for the symmetry by constructing isomorphisms between certain algebraic varieties. The numbers of rational points on these varieties are hypergeometric functions over finite fields.
