In this paper we prove that they are orthogonal with respect to a variant of the Sklyanin measure on the $n$ dimensional torus and as a result they form a basis of the space of symmetric polynomials in $n$ variables. Instrumental to the proof are inhomogeneous eigenrelations, which partially generalize those of Macdonald polynomials. We also consider several special cases of the inhomogeneous spin $q$-Whittaker polynomials, which include variants of symmetric Grothendieck polynomials or spin Whittaker functions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2025-02-01T16:05:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05E05", "33C47", "33D52" ], "keywords": [ "whittaker polynomials", "symmetric polynomials", "orthogonality", "macdonald polynomials", "inhomogeneous spin" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
