Twisted Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series over the rational function field

Abstract

Weyl group multiple Dirichlet series are Dirichlet series in $r$ complex variables, with analytic continuation to ${\mathbb{C}}^r$ and a group of functional equations isomorphic to the Weyl group of a reduced root system of rank $r$. Such series may be defined for any global field $K$, but in the case when $K$ is an algebraic function field they are expected to be, up to a variable change, rational functions in several variables. We verify the rationality of these functions in the case when $K={\mathbb{F}}_q(T)$, and describe the denominators and support of the numerators.
