Basic Properties of Non-Stationary Ruijsenaars Functions

For any variable number, a non-stationary Ruijsenaars function was recently introduced as a natural generalization of an explicitly known asymptotically free solution of the trigonometric Ruijsenaars model, and it was conjectured that this non-stationary Ruijsenaars function provides an explicit solution of the elliptic Ruijsenaars model. We present alternative series representations of the non-stationary Ruijsenaars functions, and we prove that these series converge. We also introduce novel difference operators called ${mathcal T}$ which, as we prove in the trigonometric limit and conjecture in the general case, act diagonally on the non-stationary Ruijsenaars functions.
