In 1999, Grunbaum, Haine and Horozov defined a large family of commutative algebras of ordinary differential operators which have orthogonal polynomials as eigenfunctions. These polynomials are mutually orthogonal with respect to a…
Several important families of orthogonal polynomials on the real line are called ``hypergeometric'' since they can be explicitly described in terms of some hypergeometric series $_pF_q$ that uses the degree $n$ of the polynomial as a…

A composite number $n$ is called Lehmer when $\phi(n) | n - 1$, where $\phi$ is the Euler totient function. In 1932, D.~H.~Lehmer conjectured that there are no composite Lehmer numbers and showed that Lehmer numbers must be odd and…
