A path model for Whittaker vectors

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper we construct weighted path models to compute Whittaker vectors in the completion of Verma modules, as well as Whittaker functions of fundamental type, for all finite-dimensional simple Lie algebras, affine Lie algebras, and the quantum algebra Uq(mathfrakslr+1). This leads to series expressions for the Whittaker functions. We show how this construction leads directly to the quantum Toda equations satisfied by these functions, and to the q-difference equations in the quantum case. We investigate the critical limit of affine Whittaker functions computed in this way.
