Spectrum and eigenfunctions of the lattice hyperbolic Ruijsenaars-Schneider system with exponential Morse term

Abstract: We place the hyperbolic quantum Ruijsenaars-Schneider system with an exponential Morse term on a lattice and diagonalize the resulting $n$-particle model by means of multivariate continuous dual $q$-Hahn polynomials that arise as a parameter reduction of the Macdonald-Koornwinder polynomials. This allows to compute the $n$-particle scattering operator, to identify the bispectral dual system, and to confirm the quantum integrability in a Hilbert space set-up.
