On Cherednik–macdonald–mehta Identities

In this note we give a proof of Cherednik’s generalization of Macdonald–Mehta identities for the root system An−1, using representation theory of quantum groups. These identities give an explicit formula for the integral of a product of Macdonald polynomials with respect to a “difference analogue of the Gaussian measure”. They were suggested by Cherednik, who also gave a proof based on represen...

Some Constant Term Identities of Cherednik-macdonald-mehta Type

We study t-analogs of string functions for integrable highest weight representations of the affine Kac-Moody algebra A (1) 1 . We obtain closed form formulas for certain t-string functions of levels 2 and 4. As corollaries, we obtain explicit identities for the corresponding affine Hall-Littlewood functions, as well as higher-level generalizations of Cherednik’s Macdonald and Macdonald-Mehta co...

Difference Macdonald - Mehta conjecture

with respect to the Gaussian measure. Macdonald extended it from An−1 to other root systems and verified his conjecture for classical ones by means of the Selberg integrals [M1]. It was established by Opdam in [O1] in full generality using the shift operators. The integral is an important normalization constant for a k-deformation of the Hankel transform introduced by Dunkl [D]. The generalized...
