On Razamat’s A 2 and A 3 kernel identities

Source abstract

Abstract In recent work on superconformal quantum field theories, Razamat arrived at elliptic kernel identities of a new and striking character: they relate solely to the root systems A 2 and A 3 and have no coupling type parameters, Razamat S S (2019 Lett. Math. Phys. 109 1377–95). The pertinent two- and three-variable Hamiltonians are analytic difference operators and the kernel functions are built from the elliptic gamma function. Razamat presented compelling evidence for the validity of these identities, and checked them to a certain order in a power series expansion. This paper is mainly concerned with analytical proofs of these identities. More specifically, we furnish a complete proof of the identities for the A 2 elliptic case and for the A 3 hyperbolic case, and consider several specializations. We also discuss the implications the kernel identities might have for a Hilbert space scenario involving common eigenvectors of the Hamiltonians and the integral operators associated with the kernel functions.
