Opdam, E. M. Root systems and hypergeometric functions. III. (English) Zbl 0669.33007 Compos. Math. 67, No. 1, 21-49 (1988). In parts I, II [ibid. 64, 329-352, 353-373 (1987; Zbl 0656.17006, Zbl 0656.17007)] the author and G. J. Heckman studied a class of differential equations associated with a root system R, the solutions of these equations are then used to introduce multivariable hypergeometric functions. In their construction they made essential use of the hypothesis that the so-called Harish-Chandra homomorphism is an isomorphism onto. This third part under review gives a proof of that fact when R is a root system of type \(G_ 2\). This result gives a possibility for constructing the hypergeometric function associated with arbitrary root systems.
