Cherednik algebras and Zhelobenko operators

We study canonical intertwining operators between modules of the trigonometric Cherednik algebra, induced from the standard modules of the degenerate affine Hecke algebra. We show that these operators correspond to the Zhelobenko operators for the affine Lie algebra $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_m$. To establish the correspondence, we use the functor of Arakawa, Suzuki and Tsuchiya which maps certain $\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_m$-modules to modules of the Cherednik algebra.
