Abstract

The dimension of the space of holomorphic solutions at nonsingular points (also called the holonomic rank) of an -hypergeometric system is known to be bounded above by , where is the rank of the matrix and is its normalized volume. This bound was thought to be much too large because it is exponential in . Indeed, all the examples we have found in the literature satisfy . We construct here, in a very elementary way, some families of matrices and parameter vectors , , such that for some .
