Abstract
We propose quantum Hamiltonians of the double-elliptic many-body integrable system (DELL) and study its spectrum. These Hamiltonians are certain elliptic functions of coordinates and momenta. Our results provide quantization of the classical DELL system which was previously found in the string theory literature. The eigenfunctions for the N-body model are instanton partition functions of 6d SU(N) gauge theory with adjoint matter compactified on a torus with a codimension-two defect. As a by-product, we discover new family of symmetric orthogonal polynomials which provide an elliptic generalization to Macdonald polynomials.

We thank the authors of [4] for continuing discussions on this.
Since theta-functions often appear in ratios in our calculations, we shall omit prefactor \(2x^{1/4}\) in the definition of \(\theta _1(x|p)\).
Extra compact directions of the 6d theory will be implemented in the character formula.
We refer the reader to section 4.2 of [12] for detailed explanations.

Similarly to the U(2) example in (4.19,4.20) for U(3) 6d theory, the eigenfunction (4.12) for \(\mathbf j =(1,0,0)\) reads (we highlight elliptic parameters p and w in the expansion in bold)
Notice that the series purely in w is absent because we took the smallest possible weight \(\mathbf j \).
