University of Leeds, UK 2003-12-11 G3.33 The main purpose of our research into Jack symmetric orthogonal polynomials is to perform their factorization, by a suitable integral operator, into a product of polynomials of one variable, that is to separate variables.
The story although begins from constructing an integral equation, the so-called Q-operator of Baxter, which is a quantum analogue of a Backlund transformation and which is a foundation for a separation of variables. We will also be able to rederive a known integral representation for Jack polynomials from this new approach.
