Abstract
We construct a family of pairwise commuting operators such that the Macdonald symmetric functions of infinitely many variables x 1,x 2,… and of two parameters q,t are their eigenfunctions. These operators are defined as limits at N→∞ of renormalized Macdonald operators acting on symmetric polynomials in the variables x 1,…,x N . They are differential operators in terms of the power sum variables TeX and we compute their symbols by using the Macdonald reproducing kernel. We express these symbols in terms of the Hall–Littlewood symmetric functions of the variables x 1,x 2,…. Our result also yields elementary step operators for the Macdonald symmetric functions.
