The quasi-eigenfunction transformation conjecture

From papers

Set s1==sn=1s_1=\cdots=s_n=1 and write I(α)=I(α;1,,1,q,t)I(\alpha)=I(\alpha;1,\ldots,1,q,t). Let F(α)F(\alpha) be the quasi-eigenfunction defined by I(αq1t)F(α)=F(αq1t)I(\alpha q^{-1}t)F(\alpha)=F(\alpha q^{-1}t) and the stated initial condition at α=t1/2\alpha=t^{1/2}.

Transformation conjecture. The function F(α)F(\alpha) also satisfies

I(α1q)F(α)=F(αq1t).I(\alpha^{-1}q)\cdot F(\alpha)=F(\alpha q^{-1}t).

The first transformation property defines F(α)F(\alpha) through iteration and analytic continuation, and the second is presented as an expected additional symmetry. It is checked only in limited expansions in the supplied text.
