The Dunkl intertwining operator

There are two crucial operators in the theory of Dunkl harmonic analysis. The first is the Dunkl transform, which generalizes the Fourier transform. The second is the intertwining operator, which maps ordinary partial derivatives to Dunkl operators. Although some abstract statements are known about the intertwining operator, the explicit formula for classes of reflection groups is generally not known. In recent work Yuan Xu proposed a formula in the case of dihedral groups and a restricted class of functions. We extend his formula to all functions and give a general strategy on how to obtain similar formulas for other reflections groups. This is based on joint work with Pan Lian, available under arXiv:2002.09065 and to appear in J. Funct. Anal.
