We study a new family of "classical" orthogonal polynomials, here called big -1 Jacobi polynomials, which satisfy (apart from a 3-term recurrence relation) an eigenvalue problem with differential operators of Dunkl-type. These polynomials…
We illustrate how Jordan algebras can provide a framework for the interpretation of certain classes of orthogonal polynomials. The big -1 Jacobi polynomials are eigenfunctions of a first order operator of Dunkl type. We consider an algebra…
A one-parameter family of operators that have the complementary Bannai-Ito (CBI) polynomials as eigenfunctions is obtained. The CBI polynomials are the kernel partners of the Bannai-Ito polynomials and also correspond to a $q\rightarrow-1$…

Two descriptions of the dual $-1$ Hahn algebra are presented and shown to be related under Howe duality. The dual pair involved is formed by the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{o}(4)$ and the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$.
The generating function of the Bannai-Ito polynomials is derived using the fact that these polynomials are known to be essentially the Racah or $6j$ coefficients of the $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$ Lie superalgebra. The derivation is carried in a…
The multi-indexed Jacobi polynomials are the main part of the eigenfunctions of exactly solvable quantum mechanical systems obtained by certain deformations of the P\"oschl-Teller potential (Odake-Sasaki). By fine-tuning the parameter(s) of…
The aim of this paper is to study differential properties of orthogonal polynomials with respect to a discrete Jacobi-Sobolev bilinear form with mass point at $-1$ and/or $+1$. In particular, we construct the orthogonal polynomials using…
Let $A$ be an associative simple (central) superalgebra over ${\mathbb C}$ and $L$ an invariant linear functional on it (trace). Let $a\mapsto a^t$ be an antiautomorphism of $A$ such that $(a^t)^ t=(-1)^{p(a)}a$, where $p(a)$ is the parity…
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…
For the orthogonal Lie algebra O(2n+1), in addition to the conventional set of orthogonal polynomials, another set is produced with the help of the Lie superalgebra OSP(1|2n). Difficulties related with expression of Dyson's constant for the…
Functions like the exponential, Chebyshev polynomials, and monomial symmetric polynomials are preeminent among all special functions. They have simple definitions and can be expressed using easily specified integers like n!. Families of…
The big $-1$ Jacobi polynomials $(Q_n^{(0)}(x;\alpha,\beta,c))_n$ have been classically defined for $\alpha,\beta\in(-1,\infty)$, $c\in(-1,1)$. We extend this family so that wider sets of parameters are allowed, i.e., they are non-standard.…
We first present some identities involving the Pochhammer symbol (rising factorial). We also recall and present some new properties of the Jacobi polynomials. We use them to expand a general hypergeometric function in an orthogonal series…
Using the representation theory of sl(2) and an appropriate model for tensor product of lowest weight Verma modules, we give a realisation first of the Hahn algebra, and then of the Racah algebra, using Jacobi differential operators. While…
