Confluences of the Painlevé equations, Cherednik algebras and q-Askey scheme
journal contribution
posted on 2016-05-06, 13:22 authored by Marta MazzoccoIn this paper we produce seven new algebras as confluences of the Cherednik algebra of type Č1C1 and we characterise their spherical–subalgebras. The limit of the spherical sub-algebra of the Cherednik algebra of type Č1C1 is the monodromy manifold of the Painlevé VI equation [35]. Here we prove that by considering the limits of the spherical sub-algebras of our new confluent algebras, one obtains the monodromy manifolds of all other Painlevé differential equations. Moreover, we introduce confluent versions of the Zhedanov algebra and prove that each of them (quotiented by their Casimir) is isomorphic
to the corresponding spherical sub-algebra of our new confluent Cherednik algebras. We show that in the basic representation our confluent Zhedanov algebras act as symmetries of certain elements of the q-Askey scheme, thus setting a stepping stone towards the solution of the open problem of finding the corresponding quantum algebra for each element of the q-Askey scheme.
These results establish a new link between the theory of the Painlevé equations and the theory of the q-Askey scheme making a step towards the construction of a representation theoretic approach for the Painlevé theory.
