Zonal Spherical Functions of Quantum Symmetric Pairs
Abstract
We identify the zonal and character spherical functions for quantum symmetric pairs with the symmetric Koornwinder--Macdonald polynomials. To this end, the methods of Letzter's 2004 paper are translated to modern conventions and right coideal subalgebras, and extended to non-standard cases and cases with non-reduced restricted root systems. For the last elusive Satake type, FII, a conjecture is provided.
