In this paper we are developing a theory of rational (pseudo) difference Hamiltonian operators, focusing in particular on its algebraic aspects. We show that a pseudo--difference Hamiltonian operator can be represented as a ratio $AB^{-1}$…
The dual Hahn polynomials $\{u_i(x)\}_{i=0}^d$ are a family of discrete orthogonal polynomials involving two real parameters $r$ and $s$. Let $L,L^*$ denote the corresponding Leonard pair. Assume that $r\not=0$ and $r+s=0$. We show that…

Spin chain Hamiltonians can be written in terms of complex differential operators using the Bargmann representation of the Jordan-Schwinger map. In this case, the eigenfunctions are expressed as the product of orthonormal monomials of the…

The 'relativistic' Heun equation is an 8-coupling difference equation that generalizes the 4-coupling Heun differential equation. It can be viewed as the time-independent Schr\"odinger equation for an analytic difference operator introduced…

Umbral calculus can be viewed as an abstract theory of the Heisenberg commutation relation $[\hat P,\hat M]=1$. In ordinary quantum mechanics $\hat P$ is the derivative and $\hat M$ the coordinate operator. Here we shall realize $\hat P$ as…
The middle binomial coefficients can be interpreted as numbers of Motzkin paths which have no horizontal steps at positive heights. Assigning suitable weights gives some nice polynomial extensions. We determine the Hankel determinants and…
We introduce the notion of "hypergeometric" polynomials with respect to Newtonian bases. These polynomials are eigenfunctions ($L P_n(x) = \lambda_n P_n(x)$) of some abstract operator $L$ which is 2-diagonal in the Newtonian basis…
