Colored vertex models and Iwahori Whittaker functions (Q6610073)

Let \(G\) denote a split reductive group and let \(\mathbb{J}\) denote a subset of the index set for simple reflections of the Weyl group of \(G(F)\), \(F\) being a \(p\)-adic field. We denote by \(K_{\mathbb{J}}\) the associated parahoric subgroup, defined in the paper. In the paper under the review, the authors explicitely construct a standard basis \(\{ \psi_w \}\) of \(K_{\mathbb{J}}\)-fixed Whittaker functions for any irreducible unramified principal series. Furthermore, the authors construct the so-called parahoric lattice model and prove that for every \(g \in \mathrm{GL}_n(F)\), and any subset \(\mathbb{J} \subseteq \{ 1, 2, \ldots, n-1 \}\) and for every \(\psi_w\) in a basis of \(K_{\mathbb{J}}\)-fixed Whittaker functions, there exists a choice of boundary conditions for the parahoric lattice model such that its partition function equals \(\psi_w (g)\).\N\NAlso, for a basis \(\{ \phi_w \}\) of the space of Iwahori Whittaker functions for any irreducible unramified principal series representation of \(G\) and any \(g \in G\), the authors provide a recursive algorithm to compute \(\phi_w (g)\).\N\NAlong the way, the authors prove a Casselman-Shalika formula for certain parahoric Whittaker functions on \(G\) [\textit{W. Casselman} and \textit{J. Shalika}, Compos. Math. 41, 207--231 (1980; Zbl 0472.22005)] and relate several classes of Whittaker functions to special functions, i.e., to variations of Macdonald polynomials.
