Abstract: Spin q-Whittaker symmetric polynomials labeled by partitions lambda were recently introduced by Borodin and Wheeler (arXiv:1701.06292) in the context of integrable mathfraksl2 vertex models. They are a one-parameter deformation of the t=0 Macdonald polynomials. We present a new, more convenient modification of spin q-Whittaker polynomials and find two Macdonald type q-difference operators acting diagonally in these polynomials with eigenvalues, respectively, qlambda1 and qlambdaN (where lambda is the polynomial's label). We study probability measures on interlacing arrays based on spin q-Whittaker polynomials, and match their observables with known stochastic particle systems such as the q-Hahn TASEP. In a scaling limit as qearrow1, spin q-Whittaker polynomials turn into a new one-parameter deformation of the mathfrakgln Whittaker functions. The rescaled Pieri type rule gives rise to a one-parameter deformation of the quantum Toda Hamiltonian. The deformed Hamiltonian acts diagonally on our new spin Whittaker functions. On the stochastic side, as qearrow1 we discover a multilevel extension of the beta polymer model of Barraquand and Corwin (arXiv:1503.04117), and relate it to spin Whittaker functions.
