Addition formula for big q-Legendre polynomials

Abstract

From Koornwinder's interpretation of big qq-Legendre polynomials as spherical elements on the quantum SU(2)SU(2) group an addition formula is derived for the big qq-Legendre polynomial. The formula involves Al-Salam--Carlitz polynomials, little qq-Jacobi polynomials and dual qq-Krawtchouk polynomials. For the little qq-ultraspherical polynomials a product formula in terms of a big qq-Legendre polynomial follows by qq-integration. The addition and product formula for the Legendre polynomials are obtained when qq tends to 1.
