A New Multidimensional Matrix Inverse with applications to multiple q-series

(27 pages)

Abstract. We compute the inverse of a specific infinite r-dimensional matrix, extending a matrix inverse of Krattenthaler. Our inversion is different from the r-dimensional matrix inversion recently found by Schlosser but generalizes a multidimensional matrix inversion previously found by Chu. As applications of our matrix inversion we derive some multidimensional q-series identities. Among these are q-analogues of Carlitz' multidimensional Abel-type expansion formulas. Furthermore, we derive a q-analogue of MacMahon's Master Theorem.
