Abstract: We give three formulas for meromorphic eigenfunctions (scattering states) of Sutherland's integrable N-body Schroedinger operators and their generalizations. The first is an explicit computation of the Etingof-Kirillov traces of intertwining operators, the second an integral representation of hypergeometric type, and the third is a formula of Bethe ansatz type. The last two formulas are degenerations of elliptic formulas obtained previously in connection with the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard equation. The Bethe ansatz formulas in the elliptic case are reviewed and discussed in more detail here: Eigenfunctions are parametrized by a ``Hermite-Bethe'' variety, a generalization of the spectral variety of the Lame' operator. We also give the q-deformed version of our first formula. In the scalar sl_N case, this gives common eigenfunctions of the commuting Macdonald-Rujsenaars difference operators.
