Title:
From Koornwinder operators to cluster algebra: Proof of the Macdonald-Q-system conjecture

Speaker:
Philippe Di Francesco

Abstract:
We present various constructions of commuting difference operators for the theory of Koornwinder polynomials. We show how a specialization/limiting procedure produces a functional representation for quantum Q-system cluster algebras associated to affine and twisted types A,B,C,D, also interpreted as discrete algebraic quantum integrable systems. The correspondence uses Koornwinder duality and a suitable Fourier-Whittaker transform allowing to interpret Koornwinder polynomial Pieri rules as relativistic Toda systems. (Based on joint work with Rinat Kedem).
