Abstract: It was observed recently that relations between matrix elements of certain operators in the ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb R)$ spin chain models take the form of multidimensional integrals derived by R.A. Gustafson. The spin magnets with ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb C)$ symmetry group and ${\rm L}_2(\mathbb C)$ as a local Hilbert space give rise to a new type of $\Gamma$-function integrals. In this work we present a direct calculation of two such integrals. We also analyse properties of these integrals and show that they comprise the star-triangle relations recently discussed in the literature. It is also shown that in the quasi-classical limit these integral identities are reduced to the duality relations for Dotsenko–Fateev integrals.

Keywords: Mellin–Barnes integrals, star-triangle relation.
