We establish a fundamental connection between the geometric Robinson-Schensted-Knuth (RSK) correspondence and GL(N,R)-Whittaker functions, analogous to the well-known relationship between the RSK correspondence and Schur functions. This gives rise to a natural family of measures associated with GL(N, R)-Whittaker functions which are the analogues in this setting of the Schur measures on integer partitions. The corresponding analogue of the Cauchy Littlewood identity can be seen as a generalization of an integral identity for GL(N, R)-Whittaker functions due to Bump and Stade. As an application, we obtain an explicit integral formula for the Laplace transform of the law of the partition function associated with a 1-dimensional directed polymer model with log-gamma weights recently introduced by one of the authors.
