THE HADAMARD PRODUCT OF HYPERGEOMETRIC SERIES

Abstract. Typically a hypergeometric function is a multi-valued analytic function with algebraic singularities. In this paper we give a complete description of the Newton polytope of the polynomial whose zero set naturally contains the singular locus of a nonconfluent double hypergeometric series. We show in particular that the Hadamard multiplication of such series corresponds to the Minkowski sum of the Newton polytopes of polynomials which define their singularities.
