Abstract: A representation of a specialization of a q-deformed class one lattice gl(ell+1}-Whittaker function in terms of cohomology groups of line bundles on the space QM_d(P^{ell}) of quasi-maps P^1 to P^{ell} of degree d is proposed. For ell=1, this provides an interpretation of non-specialized q-deformed gl(2)-Whittaker function in terms of QM_d(IP^1). In particular the (q-version of) Mellin-Barnes representation of gl(2)-Whittaker function is realized as a semi-infinite period map. The explicit form of the period map manifests an important role of q-version of Gamma-function as a substitute of topological genus in semi-infinite geometry. A relation with Givental-Lee universal solution (J-function) of q-deformed gl(2)-Toda chain is also discussed.


In the paper under review the authors study \(q\)-deformed \(\mathfrak{gl}_{l+1}\)-Whittaker functions. These functions can be identified with common eigenvalues of a set of commuting \(q\)-deformed Toda chain Hamiltonians. The main result of the paper gives a new expression for the \(q\)-deformed \(\mathfrak{gl}_{l+1}\)-Whittaker functions. It follows that a \(q\)-deformed \(\mathfrak{gl}_{l+1}\)-Whittaker function can be represented as a character of \(\mathbb{C}^*\times \text{GL}_{l+1}\). Taking the limit \(q\rightarrow 1\) leads to a similar representation of the corresponding classical \(\mathfrak{gl}_{l+1}\)-Whittaker function. In the limit \(q\rightarrow 0\) the constructed \(q\)-deformed \(\mathfrak{gl}_{l+1}\)-Whittaker function reduces to a \(p\)-adic Whittaker function. This means that the representation of a \(q\)-deformed \(\mathfrak{gl}_{l+1}\)-Whittaker function can be considered as a \(q\)-version of the Shintani-Casselman-Shalika representation of \(\text{GL}_{l+1}\) (expressed in the Gelfand-Zetlin basis).
