Abstract: Let $Omega$ be a vector space over a finite field with q elements. Let G denote the general linear group of endomorphisms of $Omega$ and let us consider the left regular representation $ho:GoB(L_2(X))$ associated to the natural action of G on the set X of linear subspaces of $Omega$. In this paper we study a natural basis B of the algebra $En{d}_G(L_2(X))$ of intertwining maps on $L_2(X)$. By using a Laplacian operator on Grassmann graphs, we identify the kernels in B as solutions of a basic hypergeometric difference equation. This provides two expressions for these kernels. One in terms of the q-Hahn polynomials and the other by means of a Rodrigues type formula. Finally, we obtain a useful product formula for the mappings in B. We give two different proofs. One uses the theory of classical hypergeometric polynomials and the other is supported by a characterization of spherical functions in finite symmetric spaces. Both proofs require the use of certain associated Radon transforms.
