Quantum trigonometric Calogero-Sutherland model and irreducible characters for the exceptional algebra E8

Abstract

We express the Hamiltonian of the quantum trigonometric Calogero-Sutherland model for the Lie algebra E8 and coupling constant k=1 by using the fundamental irreducible characters of the algebra as dynamical independent variables. Then, we compute the second order characters of the algebra and some higher order characters.
