Product Hermitian Jacobi eigenfunction conjecture on the simplex

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let mm be a positive integer, let kk be the number of matrix variables, let (κ1,…,κk+1)(\kappa_1,\dots,\kappa_{k+1}) be the parameters of the Hermitian Jacobi operator, and let P\mathcal{P} denote the set of partitions. The product Hermitian Jacobi polynomials are the polynomials Pτ1,…,τk(κ)P_{\tau_1,\dots,\tau_k}^{(\kappa)} indexed by (τ1,…,τk)∈Pk(\tau_1,\dots,\tau_k)\in\mathcal{P}^k. The Hermitian Jacobi operator on the simplex is Gκ1,…,κk+1m\mathcal{G}_{\kappa_1,\dots,\kappa_{k+1}}^m. Product Hermitian Jacobi eigenfunction conjecture. The polynomials

(Pτ1,…,τk(κ))τ1,…,τk∈P\bigl(P_{\tau_1,\dots,\tau_k}^{(\kappa)}\bigr)_{\tau_1,\dots,\tau_k\in\mathcal{P}}

are eigenfunctions of Gκ1,…,κk+1m\mathcal{G}_{\kappa_1,\dots,\kappa_{k+1}}^m. The conjecture identifies the product construction as a family of eigenfunctions of the matrix-valued Jacobi operator; the cases m=1m=1 and k=1k=1 reduce to settings in which the corresponding eigenfunction statements are known.
