The extreme cases are the symmetric and the non-symmetric Jacobi polynomials studied by Heckman and Opdam. Intermediate Jacobi polynomials can also be understood as vector-valued orthogonal polynomials. We study the rank one case in this paper. The interpretation of the non-symmetric Jacobi polynomials as vector-valued polynomials has interesting consequences. The first is that the non-symmetric Jacobi polynomials can be expressed in terms of the symmetric ones. The second is that we recover a shift operator for the symmetric Jacobi polynomials that comes from the Hecke algebra representation. Thirdly, for geometric root multiplicities the vector-valued polynomials can be identified with spherical functions on the sphere $S^{2n}$ associated to the fundamental spin-representation. In this way the Cherednik-operator appears as a Dirac operator for the spinors on this space.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-07-07T22:32:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "33C52", "33C45", "33E30" ], "keywords": [ "intermediate jacobi polynomials", "root system", "non-symmetric jacobi polynomials", "type bc1", "vector-valued polynomials" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
