\(E\)-orbit functions (Q2473539)

The authors presents in a full generality the theory of orbit functions symmetric with respect to the even part \(W_e\) of a Weyl group \(W\), corresponding to a Coxeter-Dynkin diagram. The Weyl groups of semisimple Lie groups are finite groups \(W\), acting on the \(n\)-dimensional Euclidean space \(E_n\), which are generated by reflections \(r_i\), \(i=1,2,\dots,n\). The \(E\)-orbit function corresponding to a point \(\lambda \in E_n\) is defined as \(E_\lambda (x)=\sum_{\mu \in O_e(\lambda )}e^{2\pi \text{ i}\langle \mu ,x\rangle }\), where \(O_e(\lambda )\) is the \(W_e\)-orbit of \(\lambda \). They are closely related to symmetric and antisymmetric orbit functions which are received from exponential functions by symmetrization and antisymmetrization procedures by means of a Weyl group \(W\). If \(\lambda \) is an integral element, then the corresponding \(E\)-orbit function \(E_\lambda (x)\) is symmetric also with respect to the elements of the affine group \(W_e^{\text{aff}}\), corresponding to the group \(W_e\). \(E\)-orbit functions \(E_\lambda (x)\) with \(\lambda \) from \(E_n\) determine \(E\)-orbit function transforms on the fundamental domain \(F(W_e)\) of the group \(W_e\). They determine also the discrete \(E\)-orbit function transforms which are transforms on grids of the domain \(F(W_e^{\text{aff}})\), an analogue of the usual discrete Fourier transforms.
