From the Introduction: We study two series of quantum Grassmann manifolds, of orthogonal and of symplectic type, and show that, for each Grassmann manifold of these series, the zonal spherical functions are expressed by Weyl group invariant \(q\)-orthogonal polynomials with respect to the Haar measure on the torus \(\mathbb{T}=\{x=(x_1, \dots,x_l)\in (\mathbb{C}^\times)^l\); \(|x_1|=\cdots=|x_l|=1\}\) with weight functions \(\Delta(x): = \Delta^+ (x)\overline {\Delta^+(x)}\) where \[ \begin{multlined}\Delta^+ (x)=\prod^l_{k=1} {(x^2_k;q^2)_\infty \over(-q^{k_{2\varepsilon_k}}x_k;q^2)_\infty (q^ {k_{2\varepsilon_k} +{1\over 2} k_{\varepsilon_k}} x_k;q^2)_\infty(-qx_k; q^2)_\infty (q^{1+ {1\over 2}k_{\varepsilon_k}} x_k;q^2)_\infty}\\ \times \prod_{i<j} {(x_i/x_j; q^2)_\infty(x_ix_j; q^2)_\infty\over (q^{k_{\varepsilon _i- \varepsilon_j}}x_i/x_j; q^2)_\infty (q^{k_{\varepsilon_i-\varepsilon_j}}x_ix_j; q ^2)_\infty},\;(0<q<1). \end{multlined} \] Here the constants \(\{k_\alpha \}\) are nonnegative real numbers corresponding to the root multiplicities of the restricted root system and \((a;q)_\infty= \prod^\infty_{i=0} (1-aq^i)\). Such polynomials coincide with so-called Macdonald polynomials or Koornwinder's multivariable Askey-Wilson polynomials.
