Abstract
We study the A-hypergeometric system associated with a monomial curve X. We explicitly construct all rational solutions and show that X is arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay if for all values of the exponents, the holonomic rank of the system equals the degree d of the curve. In the case of integral exponents we construct d independent solutions in terms of the roots of the generic univariate polynomial associated with A.
