Apr 17, 2023 at 14:21 comment added LSpice I think Demazure characters are just the familiar characters in characteristic $0$, and the only divergence comes in positive characteristic when representations of reductive algebraic groups, while still parameterised by dominant co-weights, don't have the characters you expect.
Apr 17, 2023 at 13:01 comment added Maty Mangoo Probably not, since my functions should be non-symmetric polynomials. Those $q$-Whittaker-functions may be Whittaker functions with some other invariance property, but I do not know it either.

Apr 16, 2023 at 9:42 comment added ArB I don't know if it's the same Whittaker function, but the symmetric Macdonald functions $P_{\lambda}(q,t)$ specialized at $t=0$ are sometimes referred to as $q$-Whittaker functions. These have representation theoretic meaning: they are characters of the local Weyl modules for the borel of current algebra. There is also a meaning in terms of $S_n$ representations, they are the Frobenius characteristics of some module for $S_n$.
