Fuchsian bispectral operators

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The aim of this paper is to classify the bispectral operators of any rank with regular singular points (the infinite point is the most important one). We characterise them in several ways. Probably the most important result is that they are all Darboux transformations of powers of generalised Bessel operators (in the terminology of q-alg/9602011). For this reason they can be effectively parametrised by the points of a certain (infinite) family of algebraic manifolds as pointed out in q-alg/9602011.


An ordinary differential operator \(L=L(x, \partial_x)\) is called bispectral if it has an eigenfunction \(\psi =\psi (x,z)\) which is at the same time an eigenfunction of another differential operator \(\wedge =\wedge (z,\partial_z)\), i.e., one has \(L\psi =f(z)\psi\) and \(\wedge \psi =\theta (x)\psi\). Here, the authors consider bispectral operators \(L\) of the form \(L=\sum_{k=0}^N V_k (x) \partial_x^k\) with \(V_N=1\), \(V_{N-1}=0\) and \(V_j (x)\to 0\) for \(x\to \infty\) and \(j<N-1\). Examples for such operators are the generalized Bessel operators \(L_\beta =x^{-N} (D-\beta_1)\dots (D-\beta_N)\) with \(D=x\partial_x\) and \(\beta_i \in \mathbb{C}\). The main result in this paper states that bispectral operators satisfying the above conditions can be obtained from Bessel operators by monomial Darboux transformations. This result is shown by the analysis of the point at infinity and the study of algebras of differential operators.
