Branching formula for Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomials

The six-parameter Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomials with hyperoctahedral symmetry form a multivariate generalization of the well-known Askey-Wilson polynomials. We present a branching formula that expands the Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomials in n+1 variables in terms of the n-variable polynomials. This formula allows one to construct the Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomials explicitly by induction in the number of variables.

Joint work with Erdal Emsiz (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Chile).
