In the Gelfand-Tsetlin basis, we show that diagonal matrix elements of such intertwiners are given by application of Macdonald's operators to a simple kernel. An essential ingredient in the proof is a map between spherical parts of double affine Hecke algebras of different ranks based upon the Dunkl-Kasatani conjecture.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-12-01T22:33:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "33D52", "33D80", "20C08" ], "keywords": [ "macdonald polynomials", "representation-theoretic proof", "branching rule", "double affine hecke algebras", "diagonal matrix elements" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 22, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1412.0714S" } } }
