Orthogonalization and polarization of Yangians

For every family of orthogonal polynomials, we define a new realization of the Yangian of ${\mathfrak{gl}}_n$. Except in the case of Dickson polynomials, the new realizations do not satisfy the RTT relation. We obtain an analogue of the Christoffel-Darboux formula. Similar construction can be made for any family of functions satisfying certain recurrence relations, for example, $q$-Pochhhammer symbols and Bessel functions. Furthermore, using an analogue of the Jordan-Schwinger map, we define the ternary Yangian for a Lie algebra as a flat deformation of the current algebra of certain ternary extension of the given Lie algebra.
