Confluent hypergeometric function

In mathematics, a confluent hypergeometric function is a solution of a confluent hypergeometric equation, which is a degenerate form of a hypergeometric differential equation where two of the three regular singularities merge into an irregular singularity. The term confluent refers to the merging of singular points of families of differential equations; confluere is Latin for "to flow together". There are several common standard forms of confluent hypergeometric functions: * Kummer's (confluent hypergeometric) function M(a, b, z), introduced by Kummer, is a solution to Kummer's differential equation. This is also known as the confluent hypergeometric function of the first kind. There is a different and unrelated Kummer's function bearing the same name. * Tricomi's (confluent hypergeometric) function U(a, b, z) introduced by Francesco Tricomi, sometimes denoted by Ψ(a; b; z), is another solution to Kummer's equation. This is also known as the confluent hypergeometric function of the second kind. * Whittaker functions (for Edmund Taylor Whittaker) are solutions to Whittaker's equation. * Coulomb wave functions are solutions to the Coulomb wave equation. The Kummer functions, Whittaker functions, and Coulomb wave functions are essentially the same, and differ from each other only by elementary functions and change of variables. (Wikipedia).

Alexander HOCK - Solution of ϕ44 on the Moyal Space

We show the exact solution of the self-dual ϕ4-model on the 4-dimensional Moyal space. Using the results explained in Raimar's talk, an implicitly defined function converges to a Fredholm integral, which is solved, for any coupling constant λ more than −1π, in terms of a hypergeometric fun
