Intertwining operators associated with dihedral groups (Q2216653)

The Fourier analysis associated with reflection groups has attracted considerable attention. The purpose of this paper is to study intertwining operators associated with dihedral groups. The main result gives an integral representation for the intertwining operator on a class of functions. As an application, a closed form formula for the Poisson kernel of the \(h\)-harmonics associated with the dihedral group \(I_ k\) is obtained. For one-parameter, the Poisson kernel can be expressed as a hypergeometric function. The dihedral groups \(I_{2k}\) and \(I_{2k+1}\) with positive root systems are considered separately and corresponding Dunkl operators are computed. The generalized Gegenbauer polynomials can be expressed in terms of Jacobi polynomials, which leads to formulas for the \(h\)-harmonics. Finally, an explicit basis of orthogonal polynomials or sieved Gegenbauer polynomials can be derived.
