Abstract

We show that hyperoctahedral Whittaker functions---diagonalizing an open quantum Toda chain with one-sided boundary potentials of Morse type---satisfy a dual system of difference equations in the spectral variable. This extends a well-known bispectral duality between the nonperturbed open quantum Toda chain and a strong-coupling limit of the rational Macdonald-Ruijsenaars difference operators. It is manifest from the difference equations in question that the hyperoctahedral Whittaker function is entire as a function of the spectral variable.
