Super-Macdonald Polynomials: Orthogonality and Hilbert Space Interpretation
Journal article, 2021

The super-Macdonald polynomials, introduced by Sergeev andVeselov (Commun Math Phys 288: 653-675, 2009), generalise the Macdonald polynomials to (arbitrary numbers of) two kinds of variables, and they are eigenfunctions of the deformed Macdonald-Ruijsenaars operators introduced by the same authors in Sergeev and Veselov (CommunMath Phys 245: 249-278, 2004). We introduce a Hermitian form on the algebra spanned by the super-Macdonald polynomials, prove their orthogonality, compute their (quadratic) norms explicitly, and establish a corresponding Hilbert space interpretation of the super-Macdonald polynomials and deformed MacdonaldRuijsenaars operators. This allows for a quantum mechanical interpretation of the models defined by the deformedMacdonald-Ruijsenaars operators. Motivated by recent results in the nonrelativistic (q -> 1) case, we propose that these models describe the particles and anti-particles of an underlying relativistic quantum field theory, thus providing a natural generalisation of the trigonometric Ruijsenaars model.
