Superintegrability for some $(q,t)$-deformed matrix models

TL;DR
This paper addresses the problem of establishing superintegrability for a class of $q,t$-deformed matrix models by analyzing Macdonald's $q,t$-deformed hypergeometric functions. The authors develop a concise method based on $W$- and Lassalle-type operator representations to convert hypergeometric constraints into a uniqueness statement for the solution space, then apply it to concrete models. They prove superintegrability for the refined Chern-Simons model, the $q$-Selberg integral, and the $(q,t)$-deformed Hermite and Laguerre ensembles, and they further formulate a general degraded $(q,t)$-deformed integral that encompasses these cases. This framework provides a robust, adaptable tool for verifying superintegrability and connects refined knot invariants with $(q,t)$-deformed matrix-model observables, with potential extensions to broader parameter regimes.
Abstract
We analyze the Macdonald's $(q,t)$-deformed hypergeometric functions with one and two set variables and present their constraints. We prove the uniqueness to the solution of these constraints. We propose a concise method to prove the superintegrability relations for some well-known $(q,t)$-deformed matrix models, where the constraints of hypergeometric functions play a crucial role.
