Abstract We give a description of the Hallnäs–Ruijsenaars eigenfunctions of the 2-particle hyperbolic Ruijsenaars system as matrix coefficients for the order 4 element$$S\in SL(2,{\mathbb {Z}})$$ $S\in SL(2,Z)$acting on the Hilbert space ofGL(2) quantum Teichmüller theory on the punctured torus. TheGL(2) Macdonald polynomials are then obtained as special values of the analytic continuation of these matrix coefficients. The main tool used in the proof is the cluster structure on the moduli space of framedGL(2)-local systems on the punctured torus, and an$$SL(2,{\mathbb {Z}})$$ $SL(2,Z)$-equivariant embedding of theGL(2) spherical DAHA into the quantized coordinate ring of the corresponding cluster Poisson variety. 

Abstract We study theT-system of type $A_{\mathrm{\infty }}$, also known as the octahedron recurrence/equation, viewed as a $2+1$-dimensional discrete evolution equation. Generalizing earlier work on arctic curves for the Aztec Diamond obtained from solutions of the octahedron recurrence with ‘flat’ initial data, we consider initial data along parallel ‘slanted’ planes perpendicular to an arbitrary admissible direction $(r,s,t)\in {\mathbb{Z}}_{+}^3$. The corresponding solutions of theT-system are interpreted as partition functions of dimer models on some suitable ‘pinecone’ graphs introduced by Bousquet–Mélou, Propp, and West in 2009. TheT-system formulation and some exact solutions in uniform or periodic cases allow us to explore the thermodynamic limit of the corresponding dimer models and to derive exact arctic curves separating the various phases of the system. This direct approach bypasses the standard general theory of dimers using the Kasteleyn matrix approach and uses instead the theory of Analytic Combinatorics in Several Variables, by focusing on a linear system obeyed by the dimer density generating function.
