The tensor product of a positive and a negative discrete series representation of the quantum algebra U_q(su(1,1)) decomposes as a direct integral over the principal unitary series representations. Discrete terms can appear, and these terms…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. In the paper, by using the properties of Legendre polynomials we prove some congruences for $\sum_{k=0}^{\frac{p-1}2}\binom{2k}k^2m^{-k}\mod {p^2}$. In particular, we confirm several conjectures of Z.W. Sun. We also…

Littlewood polynomials are polynomials with each of their coefficients in $\{-1,1\}$. A sequence of Littlewood polynomials that satisfies a remarkable flatness property on the unit circle of the complex plane is given by the Rudin-Shapiro…

We prove {\em sign equidistribution} of Legendre polynomials: the ratio between the lengths of the regions in the interval $[-1, 1]$ where the Legendre polynomial assumes positive versus negative values, converges to one as the degree…

We prove that every multiplier sequence for the Legendre basis which can be interpolated by a polynomial has the form $\{h(k^2+k)\}_{k=0}^{\infty}$, where $h\in\mathbb{R}[x]$. We also prove that a non-trivial collection of polynomials of a…

The Bessel function of the first kind $J_{N}\left(kx\right)$ is expanded in a Fourier-Legendre series, as is the modified Bessel functions of the first kind $I_{N}\left(kx\right)$. The purpose of these expansions in Legendre polynomials was…

In this paper, we deduce the generalized $q$-difference equations for general Al-Salam--Carlitz polynomials and generalize Arjika's recently results [$q$-difference equation for homogeneous $q$-difference operators and their applications,…

We explore integrals of products of Legendre polynomials with a logarithmic weight function. More precisely, for Legendre polynomials $P_m$ and $P_n$ of orders $m$ and $n$, respectively, we provide simple derivations of the integrals $$\int…

In terms of the creative microscoping method recently introduced by Guo and Zudilin [Adv. Math. 346 (2019), 329--358], we find a $q$-supercongruence with four parameters modulo $\Phi_n(q)(1-aq^n)(a-q^n)$, where $\Phi_n(q)$ denotes the…

We relate a one-parametric generating function for the squares of Legendre polynomials to an arithmetic hypergeometric series whose parametrisation by a level 7 modular function was recently given by Shaun Cooper. By using this modular…

Enriched versions of type A Schubert polynomials are constructed with coefficients in a polynomial ring in variables $c_1, c_2, \ldots$. Specializing these variables to $0$ recovers the double Schubert polynomials of Lascoux and…

Persson and Strang (2003) evaluated the integral over [-1,1] of a squared odd degree Legendre polynomial divided by x^2 as being equal to 2. We consider a similar integral for orthogonal polynomials with respect to a general even…
