Gaussian cubature arising from hybrid characters of simple Lie groups (Q488007)

The authors extend the ideas on multivariate Chebyshev polynomials, nodes, and cubature formulas presented by \textit{H. Li} and \textit{Y. Xu} [J. Fourier Anal. Appl. 16, No. 3, 383--433 (2010; Zbl 1194.42006)] and by \textit{R. V. Moody} and \textit{J. Patera} [Adv. Appl. Math. 47, No. 3, 509--535 (2011; Zbl 1228.41025)]. This approach leads to Gaussian cubature formulas for families of multivariate polynomials arising from the characters of irreducible representations of any simple Lie group. Now the authors present new cubature formulas based on the hybrid characters of a simple Lie group. In the short root case, the authors obtain new Gaussian cubature formulas. In the long root case, they preserve new Radau cubature formulas. The nodes for these cubature formulas arise quite naturally from elements of finite order of the Lie group. Finally, the results are illustrated for the Lie group \(G_2\).
