Abstract: 

In this talk I will introduce the concept of (Ohta-Ramani-Grammaticos) tau-functions on the E8 lattice.  I will introduce an elliptic hypergeometric integral, and show how the latter can be used to construct hypergeometric solutions for these tau-functions.  This talk is based on the speakers recent work (with Yamazaki), arXiv:1810.12103, which is in turn based on a work of Noumi, arXiv:1604.06869.
