We establish new properties of inhomogeneous spin $q$-Whittaker polynomials, which are symmetric polynomials generalizing $t=0$ Macdonald polynomials. We show that these polynomials are defined in terms of a vertex model, whose weights come…

In a previous paper, the second author defined integer-valued functions delta_n on the first cohomology of a 3-manifold, generalizing McMullen's Alexander norm. It was shown that these functions give lower bounds on the Thurston norm. In…

Big $q$-Jacobi functions are eigenfunctions of a second order $q$-difference operator $L$. We study $L$ as an unbounded self-adjoint operator on an $L^2$-space of functions on $\mathbb R$ with a discrete measure. We describe explicitly the…

We investigate some properties of non-symmetric Jack, Hermite and Laguerre polynomials which occur as the polynomial part of the eigenfunctions for certain Calogero-Sutherland models with exchange terms. For the non-symmetric Jack…

In the matrix product states approach to $n$ species diffusion processes the stationary probability distribution is expressed as a matrix product state with respect to a quadratic algebra determined by the dynamics of the process. The…

We introduce multiple Wilson polynomials, which give a new example of multiple orthogonal polynomials (Hermite-Pade polynomials) of type II. These polynomials can be written as a Jacobi-Pineiro transform, which is a generalization of the…

In this work we classify all the order-two Hypergeometric operators $D$, symmetric with respect to some $2\times 2$ irreducible matrix-weight $W$ such that $DP_n=P_n\left(\begin{smallmatrix} \lambda_n&0\\0&\mu_n \end{smallmatrix} \right)$…

We introduce two kinds of multiple little q-Jacobi polynomials by imposing orthogonality conditions with respect to r discrete little q-Jacobi measures on the exponential lattice q^k (k=0,1,2,3,...), where 0 < q < 1. We show that these…

We develop a new way of writing the Lame Hamiltonian in Lie-algebraic form. This yields, in a natural way, an explicit formula for both the Lame polynomials and the classical non-meromorphic Lame functions in terms of Chebyshev polynomials…

We define Ptolemy coordinates for representations that are not necessarily boundary-unipotent. This gives rise to a new algorithm for computing the SL(2,C) A-polynomial, and more generally the SL(n,C) A-varieties. We also give a formula for…

In this paper we construct a non-skewsymmetric version of a Poisson bracket on the algebra of smooth functions on an odd Jacobi supermanifold. We refer to such Poisson-like brackets as Loday-Poisson brackets. We examine the relations…

In this paper we introduce and discuss some classes of orthogonal polynomials in several non-commuting variables. The emphasis is on a non-commutative version of the orthogonal polynomials on the real line. We introduce recurrence equations…

This article gives a brief introduction to $q$-special functions, i.e., $q$-analogues of the classical special functions. Here $q$ is a deformation parameter, usually $0<q<1$, where $q=1$ is the classical case. The main topics to be treated…

We introduce and study symmetric polynomials, which as very special cases include polynomials related to the supersymmetric eight-vertex model, and other elliptic lattice models with $\Delta=\pm 1/2$. There is also a close relation to…

The A-polynomial is a knot invariant related to the space of $SL_2(\mathbb{C})$ representations of the knot group. In this paper our interests lies in the logarithmic Gauss map of the A-polynomial. We develop a homological point of view on…

A tutorial introduction is given to q-special functions and to q-analogues of the classical orthogonal polynomials, up to the level of Askey-Wilson polynomials.

The Askey--Wilson integral is very important in the theory of orthogonal polynomials. Liu's integral is a generalization of the Askey--Wilson integral with many parameters. With the help of the series rearrangement method, we give the…

We investigate asymptotic behavior of polynomials $ Q_n(z) $ satisfying non-Hermitian orthogonality relations $$ \int_\Delta s^kQ_n(s)\rho(s)\dd s =0, \quad k\in\{0,\ldots,n-1\}, $$ where $ \Delta := [-a,a]\cup [-\ic b,\ic b] $, $ a,b>0 $,…

We find particular relations which we call "Bernoulli-type" in some noncommutative polynomial ring with a single nontrivial relation. More precisely, our ring is isomorphic to the universal enveloping algebra of a two-dimensional…

We introduce the -1 dual Hahn polynomials through an appropriate $q \to -1$ limit of the dual q-Hahn polynomials. These polynomials are orthogonal on a finite set of discrete points on the real axis, but in contrast to the classical…
