Affine Hecke Algebras and Orthogonal Polynomials (Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics)

by Ian G. Macdonald

Publisher Description (unedited publisher data) In recent years there has developed a satisfactory and coherent theory of orthogonal polynomials in several variables, attached to root systems, and depending on two or more parameters. These polynomials include as special cases: symmetric functions; zonal spherical functions on real and p-adic reductive Lie groups; the Jacobi polynomials of Heckman and Opdam; and the Askey-Wilson polynomials, which themselves include as special or limiting cases all the classical families of orthogonal polynomials in one variable. This first comprehensive and...
