Cauchy identities for genus 2 Schur polynomials

Abstract

Genus 2 Macdonald polynomials $\hat{I}{¨}_{j_1,j_2,j_3}^{(q,t)}$ generalize ordinary Macdonald polynomials in several aspects. First, they provide common eigenfunctions for commuting difference operators that generalize the Macdonald difference operators of type $A_1$. Second, the algebra generated by these difference operators together with multiplication operators admits an action of genus 2 mapping class group (MCG) that generalizes the well-known action of $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ for ordinary Macdonald polynomials. In this paper, one more important aspect of Macdonald theory is considered: the Cauchy identities. We construct a genus 2 generalization of Cauchy identities in the particular case when $t=q=1$, i.e. for genus 2 Schur polynomials.
