On a novel class of polyanalytic Hermite polynomials

We carry out some algebraic and analytic properties of a new class of orthogonal polyanalytic polynomials, including their operational formulas, recurrence relations, generating functions, integral representations and different orthogonality identities. We establish their connection and rule in describing the $L^2$--spectral theory of some special second order differential operators of Laplacian type acting on the $L^2$--gaussian Hilbert space on the whole complex plane. We will also show their importance in the theory of the so-called rank--one automorphic functions on the complex plane. In fact, a variant subclass leads to an orthogonal basis of the corresponding $L^2$--gaussian Hilbert space on the strip.
