Abstract

We propose solutions of the quantum Q-systems of types BN,CN,DNB_N,C_N,D_N in terms of qq-difference operators, generalizing our previous construction for the Q-system of type AA. The difference operators are interpreted as qq-Whittaker limits of discrete time evolutions of Macdonald-van Diejen type operators. We conjecture that these new operators act as raising and lowering operators for qq-Whittaker functions, which are special cases of graded characters of fusion products of KR-modules.
