Determinant evaluations and U(n) extensions of Heine's 2\phi1-transformations

(6 pages)

Abstract. We give new proofs for U(n) extensions of Heine's three 2\phi1-transformation formulas that were recently discovered in another paper by the authors. These new proofs proceed by combining Heine's original transformation formulas with certain determinant evaluations. As a by-product we are able to generalize two of the U(n) transformation formulas.
