Abstract
In Ann. Math., to appear, 2008, the author proved a number of multivariate elliptic hypergeometric integrals. The purpose of the present note is to explore more carefully the various limiting cases (hyperbolic, trigonometric, rational, and classical) that exist. In particular, we show (using some new estimates of generalized gamma functions) that the hyperbolic integrals (previously treated as purely formal limits) are indeed limiting cases. We also obtain a number of new trigonometric (q-hypergeometric) integral identities as limits from the elliptic level.

Stokman and F. van de Bult for motivating conversations regarding the trigonometric and hyperbolic cases, and R. Askey for suggesting the use of the modular transformation to derive classical limits (as in [10]), which led the author to consider the paper [9]; the author would also like to thank an anonymous referee for pointing out that the original version of Theorem 4.7 was badly stated.Attached Files
