| Abstract: |
The Casselman-Shalika formula is an explicit formula for values of a spherical Whittaker function over a local nonarchimedean field, in terms of a character of a reductive group. Analogues exist for metaplectic groups that construct a Whittaker function either by averaging over a Weyl group, or by taking a sum over a combinatorial structure such as a highest-weight crystal. In this talk we will discuss how Demazure Lusztig operators emerged to understand the relationship between the two constructions. They turn out to be useful in the study $p$-adic (Iwahori)-Whittaker functions in both the classical and the metaplectic, finite dimensional and general Kac-Moody setting. In particular, they provide a tool to extend these constructions to a greater generality. In addition, Weyl symmetrizers built from these operators raise interesting questions related to Macdonald's constant term conjecture. |
