In this article, we define an extended version of the Pochhammer symbol and then introduce the corresponding extension of the τ-Gauss hypergeometric function. The basic properties of the extended τ-Gauss hypergeometric function, including integral and derivative formulas involving the Mellin transform and the operators of fractional calculus, are derived. We also consider some new and known results as consequences of our proposed extension of the τ-Gauss hypergeometric function.
