Rodrigues formulas for the Macdonald polynomials (Q1369256)

The authors here present formulas of Rodrigues type giving the Macdonald polynomials for arbitrary partitions \(\lambda\) through the repeated application of creation operators \(B_k\), \(k= 1,\dots,\ell(\lambda)\) on the constant 1. Three expressions for the creation operators are associated. Rodrigues formula readily implies the integrality of the \((q,t)\)-Kostka coefficients. The proofs rely on the connection between affine Hecke algebras and Macdonald polynomials.
