  We consider the relativistic generalization of the quantum $A_{N-1}$
Calogero-Sutherland models due to Ruijsenaars, comprising the rational,
hyperbolic, trigonometric and elliptic cases. For each of these cases, we find
an exact common eigenfunction for a generalization of Ruijsenaars analytic
difference operators that gives, as special cases, many different kernel
functions; in particular, we find kernel functions for Chalykh-
Feigin-Veselov-Sergeev-type deformations of such difference operators which
generalize known kernel functions for the Ruijsenaars models. We also discuss
possible applications of our results.
