Eigenfunctions of the van Diejen model generated by gauge and integral transformations

Abstract

We present how explicit eigenfunctions of the principal Hamiltonian for the $B{C}_m$ relativistic Calogero-Moser-Sutherland model, due to van Diejen, can be constructed using gauge and integral transformations. In particular, we find that certain $BC$-type elliptic hypergeometric integrals, including elliptic Selberg integrals, of both Type I and Type II arise as eigenfunctions of the van Diejen model under some parameter restrictions. Among these are also joint eigenfunctions of so-called modular pairs of van Diejen operators. Furthermore, these transformations are related to reflections of the $E_8$ Weyl group acting on the space of model parameters.
