Nonsymmetric Jack polynomials and integral kernels (Q1974859)

Nonsymmetric Jack, Hermite and Laguerre polynomials occur as the polynomial part of the eigenfunction for certain many body Schrödinger operators with a pair potential proportional to \((1-s_{ij})/r^2_{ij}\), where \(s_{ij}\) denotes the coordinate exchange operator and \(r_{ij}\) denotes the separation between particles. The constant term normalization of the nonsymmetric Jack polynomials is evaluated using recurrence relations, and is related to the norm for the nonsymmetric analogue of the power-sum inner product. The results obtained for the nonsymmetric Hermite and Laguerre polynomials allow the explicit determination of the integral kernels which occur in Dunkl's theory of integral transforms based on reflection groups of type \(A\) and \(B\), and enable many analogues of properties of the classical Fourier, Laplace and Hankel transforms to be derived. The kernels are given as generalized hypergeometric functions based on nonsymmetric Jack polynomials. Central to the calculations is the construction of lowering-type operators for the nonsymmetric Jack polynomials of argument \(x\) and \(x^2\), which are the counterpart to the raising-type operator introduced by \textit{F. Knop} and \textit{S. Sahi} [Invent. Math. 128, No. 1, 9-22 (1997; Zbl 0870.05076)].
