The Harish-Chandra homomorphism for a quantized classical Hermitian symmetric pair (Q1294737)

Let \(G/K\) be an irreducible Hermitian symmetric space of the non-compact type. A quantum version \(D_q(G/K)\) of the algebra of invariant differential operators on \(G/K\) is constructed. The main result of the paper is the quantum version of the Harish-Chandra isomorphism between \(D_q(G/K)\) and the algebra of Laurent polynomials that are invariant for a certain Weyl group. This is proved for the classical cases \(A_n\), \(B_n\), \(C_n\) and \(D_n\).
