Abstract: In previous work we introduced and studied a function that is a generalization of the hypergeometric function 2F1 and the Askey-Wilson polynomials. When the coupling vector is specialized to (b,0,0,0), binmathbbC, we obtain a function mathcalR(a+,a,b;v,2hatv) that generalizes the conical function specialization of 2F1 and the q-Gegenbauer polynomials. The function mathcalR is the joint eigenfunction of four analytic difference operators associated with the relativistic Calogero-Moser system of A1 type, whereas the function R corresponds to BC1, and is the joint eigenfunction of four hyperbolic Askey-Wilson type difference operators. We show that the mathcalR-function admits five novel integral representations that involve only four hyperbolic gamma functions and plane waves. Taking their nonrelativistic limit, we arrive at four representations of the conical function. We also show that a limit procedure leads to two commuting relativistic Toda Hamiltonians and two commuting dual Toda Hamiltonians, and that a similarity transform of the function mathcalR converges to a joint eigenfunction of the latter four difference operators.
