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...

Response to Moore and others (2010) and Mehta (2010)

Dear Sir: We read with great interest the article on pneumococcal serotyping in Laos by Moore and others 1 and the accompanying editorial by Mehta 2 in the September 2010 issue of The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. We commend Moore on describing the pneumococcal serotype distribution in this country in Asia, a region with relatively few data on pneumococcal serotypes causing...

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...
