In a first part, it is shown that the multivariable Askey-Wilson polynomials with $N$ variables and $N+3$ parameters introduced by Gasper and Rahman [GR1] generate a family of infinite dimensional irreducible modules for the $q-$Onsager algebra, whose fundamental generators are realized in terms of the multivariable $q-$difference and difference operators proposed by Iliev [Il]. Raising and lowering operators extending those of Sahi [Sa2] are also constructed. In a second part, finite dimensional irreducible modules are constructed and studied for a certain class of parameters and if the $N$ variables belong to a discrete support. In this case, the bispectral property finds a natural interpretation within the framework of tridiagonal pairs. In a third part, eigenfunctions of the $q-$Dolan-Grady hierarchy are considered in the polynomial basis. In particular, invariant subspaces are identified for certain conditions generalizing Nepomechie's relations. In a fourth part, the analysis is extended to the special case $q=1$. This framework provides a $q-$hypergeometric formulation of quantum integrable models such as the open XXZ spin chain with generic integrable boundary conditions ($q\\neq 1$).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-06-23T08:23:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum integrable models", "bispectral q-hypergeometric basis", "onsager algebra", "open xxz spin chain", "infinite dimensional irreducible modules" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 33, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150606902B" } } }
