A new type of basic hypergeometric series based on Macdonald polynomials is introduced. Besides a pair of Macdonald polynomials attached to two different sets of variables, a key ingredient in the basic hypergeometric series is a bisymmetric function related to Macdonald’s commuting family of q-difference operators, to the Selberg integrals of Tarasov and Varchenko, and to alternating sign matrices. Our main result for series is a multivariable generalization of the celebrated q-binomial theorem. In the limit this q-binomial sum yields a new Selberg integral for Jack polynomials.
