The Virasoro fusion kernel and Ruijsenaars' hypergeometric function

Abstract

We show that the Virasoro fusion kernel is equal to Ruijsenaars' hypergeometric function up to normalization. More precisely, we prove that the Virasoro fusion kernel is a joint eigenfunction of four difference operators. We find a renormalized version of this kernel for which the four difference operators are mapped to four versions of the quantum relativistic hyperbolic Calogero-Moser Hamiltonian tied with the root system $B{C}_1$. We consequently prove that the renormalized Virasoro fusion kernel and the corresponding quantum eigenfunction, the (renormalized) Ruijsenaars hypergeometric function, are equal.
