Hypergeometric functions associated with root systems (33C67)

Abstract: We derive an explicit c-function expansion of a basic hypergeometric function associated to root systems. The basic hypergeometric function in question was constructed as explicit series expansion in symmetric Macdonald polynomials by Cherednik in case the associated twisted affine root system is reduced. Its construction was extended to the nonreduced case by the author. It is a meromorphic Weyl group invariant solution of the spectral problem of the Macdonald q-difference operators. The c-function expansion is its explicit expansion in terms of the basis of the space of meromorphic solutions of the spectral problem consisting of q-analogs of the Harish-Chandra series. We express the expansion coefficients in terms of a q-analog of the Harish-Chandra c-function, which is explicitly given as product of q-Gamma functions. The c-function expansion shows that the basic hypergeometric function formally is a q-analog of the Heckman-Opdam hypergeometric function, which in turn specializes to elementary spherical functions on noncompact Riemannian symmetric spaces for special values of the parameters.

Review text

An explicit expansion in symmetric Macdonald polynomials of a basic hypergeometric function associated to a root system was obtained by Cherednik in the case the associated twisted affine root system is reduced. An extension of Cherednik's construction in the form of a meromorphic Weyl group invariant solution of the spectral problem of the Macdonald \(q\)-difference operators was obtained by the author of the present paper. Now, the author derives an explicit \(c\)-function expansion of a basic hypergeometric function \(\mathcal{E}_+\) associated to root systems. The obtained explicit \(c\)-function expansion is an expansion in terms of the basis of the space of meromorphic solutions of the spectral problem with coefficients expressed in terms of a \(q\)-analog of the Harish-Chandra \(c\)-function. The basic Harish-Chandra series \(\hat \Phi _\eta (\cdot, \gamma )\) with base point given by a torus element \(\eta \) is a meromorphic common eigenfunction of the Macdonald \(q\)-difference operators. The obtained \(c\)-function expansion of a basic hypergeometric function \(\mathcal{E}_+\) has the form \(\mathcal{E}_+(t,\gamma )=\hat c_\eta (\gamma _0)^{-1}\sum_{w\in W_0}\hat c_\eta (w\gamma )\hat \Phi _\eta (t,w\gamma )\), where \(W_0\) is the Weyl group of the underlying finite root system.
