Let R and S be two irreducible root systems spanning the same vector space and having the same Weyl group W, such that S (but not necessarily R) is reduced. For each such pair (R,S) we construct a family of W-invariant orthogonal…
It is shown that a SU(1,1) algebra may be used to provide a unified description of the simple hamonic oscillator and the angular momentum algebras and a class of other semi-infinite algebras. A normal ordered representation of a Unitary…
We show in this article how orthogonal polynomials appear in certain representations of grid shaped quivers. After a short introduction into the general notion of quivers and their representations by linear operators we define the notion of…
We associate to a semisimple complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ a sequence of polynomials $P_{\ell,\mathfrak{g}}(x)\in\mathbb{Q}[x]$ in $r$ variables, where $r$ is the rank of $\mathfrak{g}$ and $\ell=0,1,2,\ldots $. The polynomials…
We elaborate on a connection between the $SU(2)$-valued nonlinear Fourier series and sequences of left and right orthogonal polynomials for complex measures on the unit circle. We show a convergence result for the associated reproducing…
The interpretation of the Meixner-Pollaczek, Meixner and Laguerre polynomials as overlap coefficients in the positive discrete series representations of the Lie algebra su(1,1) and the Clebsch-Gordan decomposition leads to generalisations…
We derive orthogonality relations for discrete q-ultraspherical polynomials and their duals by means of operators of representations of the quantum algebra su_q(1,1). Spectra and eigenfunctions of these operators are found explicitly. These…
The purpose of this note is twofold: firstly to characterize all the sequences of orthogonal polynomials $(P_n)_{n\geq 0}$ such that $$ \frac{\triangle}{{\bf \triangle} x(s-1/2)}P_{n+1}(x(s-1/2))=c_n(\triangle +2\,\mathrm{I})P_n(x(s-1/2)),…
We consider mixed type multiple orthogonal polynomials associated with a system of weight functions consisting of two vectors. One vector is defined in terms of scaled modified Bessel function of the first kind $I_\mu$ and $I_{\mu+1}$, the…
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a finite-dimensional complex simple Lie algebra and $r,m\ge 2$. The universal central extension of the superelliptic current algebra $\mathfrak{g}\otimes A$ is $\widehat{\mathfrak{g}\otimes A}\cong\mathfrak{g}\otimes A…
We obtain stochastic duality functions for specific Markov processes using representation theory of Lie algebras. The duality functions come from the kernel of a unitary intertwiner between $*$-representations, which provides (generalized)…
The Lie algebra $\mathfrak{su}(1,1)$ can be deformed by a reflection operator, in such a way that the positive discrete series representations of $\mathfrak{su}(1,1)$ can be extended to representations of this deformed algebra…
New sequences of discrete orthogonal polynomials associated with the modified Bessel function $K_\mu(z)$ or Macdonald function are considered. The corresponding weight function is $\lambda^k \rho_{k+\nu+1}(t)/ k!$, where $\ k \in…
We study a class of weight functions on $[-1,1]$, which are special cases of the general weights studied by Bernstein and Szeg\"o, as well as their extentions to the interval $[-a,1]$ for a continuous parameter $a>0$. These weights are…
In previous papers, we discussed the recurrence relations of the multi-indexed orthogonal polynomials of the Laguerre, Jacobi, Wilson, Askey-Wilson, Racah and $q$-Racah types. In this paper we explore those of the Meixner-Pollaczek and…
In this paper a general theory of semi-classical matrix orthogonal polynomials is developed. We define the semi-classical linear functionals by means of a distributional equation $D(u A) = u B,$ where $A$ and $B$ are matrix polynomials.…
We construct new examples of Krall discrete orthogonal polynomials, i.e., orthogonal polynomials with respect to a measure which are also eigenfunctions of a higher order difference operator. The new examples include the orthogonal…
Among all states on the algebra of non-commutative polynomials, we characterize the ones that have monic orthogonal polynomials. The characterizations involve recursion relations, Hankel-type determinants, and a representation as a joint…
We revise the symmetries of the Zernike polynomials that determine the Lie algebra su(1,1) + su(1,1). We show how they induce discrete as well continuous bases that coexist in the framework of rigged Hilbert spaces. We also discuss some…
Orthogonal polynomials for a family of weight functions on $[-1,1]^2$, $$ \CW_{\a,\b,\g}(x,y) = |x+y|^{2\a+1} |x-y|^{2\b+1} (1-x^2)^\g(1-y^2)^{\g}, $$ are studied and shown to be related to the Koornwinder polynomials defined on the region…
