Abstract

We introduce and study a one-parameter generalization of the q-Whittaker symmetric functions. This is a family of multivariate symmetric polynomials, whose construction may be viewed as an application of the procedure of fusion from integrable lattice models to a vertex model interpretation of a one-parameter generalization of Hall-Littlewood polynomials from [Bor17, BP16a, BP16b]. We prove branching and Pieri rules, standard and dual (skew) Cauchy summation identities, and an integral representation for the new polynomials.
