An asymptotic formula for the Koornwinder polynomials
AbstractA formula for the large-degree asymptotics of Koornwinder's multivariate Askey–Wilson polynomials is presented. In the special case of a single variable, this asymptotic formula agrees with the known leading asymptotics of the Askey–Wilson polynomials determined by Ismail and Wilson
Determinantal construction of orthogonal polynomials associated with root systems
Retrieved October 30, 2007 from http://lanl.arxiv.org/find/math/1/au:+Morse_J/0/1/0/all/0/1We consider semisimple triangular operators acting in the sym-
metric component of the group algebra over the weight lattice of a root sys-
tem. We present a determinantal formula for the eigenbasis of such triangular
operators. This determinantal formula gives rise to an explicit construction
of the Macdonald polynomials and of the Heckman-Opdam generalized Jacobi
polynomials

Diagonalization of an Integrable Discretization of the Repulsive Delta Bose Gas on the Circle
We introduce an integrable lattice discretization of the quantum system of n
bosonic particles on a ring interacting pairwise via repulsive delta
potentials. The corresponding (finite-dimensional) spectral problem of the
integrable lattice model is solved by means of the Bethe Ansatz method. The
resulting eigenfunctions turn out to be given by specializations of the
Hall-Littlewood polynomials. In the continuum limit the solution of the
repulsive delta Bose gas due to Lieb and Liniger is recovered, including the
orthogonality of the Bethe wave functions first proved by Dorlas (extending
previous work of C.N. Yang and C.P. Yang).Comment: 25 pages, LaTe
On a two variable class of Bernstein-Szego measures
The one variable Bernstein-Szego theory for orthogonal polynomials on the
real line is extended to a class of two variable measures. The polynomials
orthonormal in the total degree ordering and the lexicographical ordering are
constructed and their recurrence coefficients discussed.Comment: minor change
Properties of generalized univariate hypergeometric functions
Based on Spiridonov's analysis of elliptic generalizations of the Gauss
hypergeometric function, we develop a common framework for 7-parameter families
of generalized elliptic, hyperbolic and trigonometric univariate hypergeometric
functions. In each case we derive the symmetries of the generalized
hypergeometric function under the Weyl group of type E_7 (elliptic, hyperbolic)
and of type E_6 (trigonometric) using the appropriate versions of the
Nassrallah-Rahman beta integral, and we derive contiguous relations using
fundamental addition formulas for theta and sine functions. The top level
degenerations of the hyperbolic and trigonometric hypergeometric functions are
identified with Ruijsenaars' relativistic hypergeometric function and the
Askey-Wilson function, respectively. We show that the degeneration process
yields various new and known identities for hyperbolic and trigonometric
special functions. We also describe an intimate connection between the
hyperbolic and trigonometric theory, which yields an expression of the
hyperbolic hypergeometric function as an explicit bilinear sum in trigonometric
hypergeometric functions.Comment: 46 page
Quantum inequalities and `quantum interest' as eigenvalue problems
Quantum inequalities (QI's) provide lower bounds on the averaged energy
density of a quantum field. We show how the QI's for massless scalar fields in
even dimensional Minkowski space may be reformulated in terms of the positivity
of a certain self-adjoint operator - a generalised Schroedinger operator with
the energy density as the potential - and hence as an eigenvalue problem. We
use this idea to verify that the energy density produced by a moving mirror in
two dimensions is compatible with the QI's for a large class of mirror
trajectories. In addition, we apply this viewpoint to the `quantum interest
conjecture' of Ford and Roman, which asserts that the positive part of an
energy density always overcompensates for any negative components. For various
simple models in two and four dimensions we obtain the best possible bounds on
the `quantum interest rate' and on the maximum delay between a negative pulse
and a compensating positive pulse. Perhaps surprisingly, we find that - in four
dimensions - it is impossible for a positive delta-function pulse of any
magnitude to compensate for a negative delta-function pulse, no matter how
close together they occur.Comment: 18 pages, RevTeX. One new result added; typos fixed. To appear in

Integrability of the and Ruijsenaars-Schneider models
We study the and Ruijsenaars-Schneider(RS) models with
interaction potential of trigonometric and rational types. The Lax pairs for
these models are constructed and the involutive Hamiltonians are also given.
Taking nonrelativistic limit, we also obtain the Lax pairs for the
corresponding Calogero-Moser systems.Comment: 20 pages, LaTeX2e, no figure
