Root systems and hypergeometric functions. II. (English) Zbl 0656.17007
Keeping the notation used in part I (see the preceding review Zbl 0656.17006), the author continues studying a class of solutions $$\phi$$ of the equation $$L\phi =(\lambda -\rho,\lambda +\rho)\phi.$$ The main concern of the paper is the analyticity of $$\phi$$. The author proves, among other things, that a certain linear combination of $$\phi$$ could be extended to a Weyl group invariant analytic function on all of $$\exp (E^*)$$. As an application of the main result he establishes an orthogonality relation on the Jacobi polynomials associated to a root system R.
