Using an algebraic method for solving the wave equation in quantum mechanics, we encountered a new class of orthogonal polynomials on the real line. It consists of a four-parameter polynomial with continuous spectrum on the whole real line…
A class of cross-shaped difference operators on a two dimensional lattice is introduced. The main feature of the operators in this class is that their formal eigenvectors consist of multiple orthogonal polynomials. In other words, this…
In this paper we give a direct proof of the Ponzano-Regge asymptotic formula for the Wigner 6j symbol starting from Racah's single sum formula. Our method treats halfinteger and integer spins on the same footing. The generalization to…
We introduce a three-dimensional random point field using the concept of the quaternion determinant. Orthogonal polynomials on the space of pure quaternions are defined, and used to construct a kernel function similar to the Ginibre kernel.…
