Formulas for elementary spherical functions and generalized Jacobi polynomials. (English) Zbl 0549.43006

Generalized Jacobi polynomials are symmetric polynomials \(p^{\alpha,\beta,\gamma}_{n_ 1,...,n_{\ell}}(x_ 1,...,x_{\ell})\) which are orthogonal with respect to the weight function \(\prod_{1\leq i\leq\ell }(1-x_ i)^{\alpha}(1+x_ i)^{\beta}\prod_{i<j}(x_ i-x_ j)^{2\gamma +1},\quad -1\leq x_{\ell}\leq x_{\ell -1}\leq...\leq x_ 1\leq 1.\) For certain values of the parameters \(\alpha\), \(\beta\), \(\gamma\) the polynomials are interpreted as elementary spherical functions on symmetric spaces. A number of formulas are proved, in particular in two and three variables.
