Multivariate Askey-Wilson functions and overlap coefficients

Quantum Algebra 2025-04-15 v1 Classical Analysis and ODEs

Abstract

We study certain overlap coefficients appearing in representation theory of the quantum algebra \Uq(sl2(\C))\U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2(\C)). The overlap coefficients can be identified as products of Askey-Wilson functions, leading to an algebraic interpretation of the multivariate Askey-Wilson functions introduced by Geronimo and Iliev. We use the underlying coalgebra structure to derive qq-difference equations satisfied by the multivariate Askey-Wilson functions.
