Special polynomials related to the supersymmetric eight-vertex model: a summary (Q748458)

The author introduces and studies symmetric polynomials, which as very special cases include polynomials related to the supersymmetric eight-vertex model, and other elliptic models with \(\Delta=\pm 1/2\). It is shown that up to a change of variables, these polynomials satisfy a Schrödinger equation with elliptic potential and that specializations of the polynomials are tau functions for Painlevé VI.
