AFLT-type Selberg integrals

Abstract

In their 2011 paper on the AGT conjecture, Alba, Fateev, Litvinov and Tarnopolsky (AFLT) obtained a closed-form evaluation for a Selberg integral over the product of two Jack polynomials, thereby unifying the well-known Kadell and Hua–Kadell integrals. In this paper we use a variety of symmetric functions and symmetric function techniques to prove generalisations of the AFLT integral. These include (i) an A_n analogue of the AFLT integral, containing two Jack polynomials in the integrand; (ii) a generalisation of (i) for γ = 1 (the Schur or GUE case), containing a product of n+1 Schur functions; (iii) an elliptic generalisation of the AFLT integral in which the role of the Jack polynomials is played by a pair of elliptic interpolation functions; (iv) an AFLT integral for Macdonald polynomials.
