Symmetric and non-symmetric quantum Capelli polynomials

In "Difference operators and symmetric functions defined by their zeros" (joint with Siddhartha Sahi) we introduced a new family of symmetric polynomials which are related to Capelli identities. The purpose of this paper is twofold: I quantize the construction and obtain symmetric polynomials depending on two parameters q and t. More importantly, I introduce an analogous family of non-symmetric polynomials. It is shown that these form an eigenbasis for certain q-difference equations. As a corollary, I obtain that the top homogeneous part is a symmetric/non-symmetric Macdonald polynomial. Finally the results of Integrality of two variable Kostka functions are generalized by obtaining integrality results for the quantum Capelli polynomials.
