Meixner polynomials of the second kind and quantum algebras representing su ( 1 , 1 )

چکیده
We show how Viennot’s combinatorial theory of orthogonal polynomials may be used to generalize some recent results of Sukumar and Hodges (Hodges & Sukumar 2007 Proc. R. Soc. A 463, 2401–2414 (doi:10.1098/rspa.2007.0001); Sukumar & Hodges 2007 Proc. R. Soc. A 463, 2415–2427 (doi:10.1098/rspa.2007.0003)) on the matrix entries in powers of certain operators in a representation of su(1, 1). Our results link these calculations to finding the moments and inverse polynomial coefficients of certain Laguerre polynomials and Meixner polynomials of the second kind. As an immediate consequence of results by Koelink, Groenevelt and Van Der Jeugt (Van Der Jeugt 1997 J. Math. Phys. 38, 2728– 2740 (doi:10.1063/1.531984); Koelink & Van Der Jeugt 1998 SIAM J. Math. Anal. 29, 794–822 (doi:10.1137/S003614109630673X); Groenevelt & Koelink 2002 J. Phys. A 35, 65–85 (doi:10.1088/0305-4470/35/1/306)), for the related operators, substitutions into essentially the same Laguerre polynomials and Meixner polynomials of the second kind may be used to express their eigenvectors. Our combinatorial approach explains and generalizes this ‘coincidence’.

متن کاملRealizations of su ( 1 , 1 ) and U q ( su ( 1 , 1 ) ) and generating functions for orthogonal polynomials
Positive discrete series representations of the Lie algebra su(1, 1) and the quantum algebra U q (su(1, 1)) are considered. The diagonalization of a self-adjoint operator (the Hamiltonian) in these representations and in tensor products of such representations is determined , and the generalized eigenvectors are constructed in terms of orthogonal polynomials. Using simple realizations of su(1, ...
متن کاملMeixner Functions and Polynomials Related to Lie Algebra Representations
The decomposition of the tensor product of a positive and a negative discrete series representation of the Lie algebra su(1, 1) is a direct integral over the principal unitary series representations. In the decomposition discrete terms can occur, and the discrete terms are a finite number of discrete series representations or one complementary series representation. The interpretation of Meixne...
متن کاملProbability Distributions and Coherent States of B r , C r and D r Algebras
A new approach to probability theory based on quantum mechanical and Lie algebraic ideas is proposed and developed. The underlying fact is the observation that the coherent states of the Heisenberg-Weyl, su(2), su(r+1), su(1, 1) and su(r, 1) algebras in certain symmetric (bosonic) representations give the “probability amplitudes” (or the “square roots”) of the well-known Poisson, binomial, mult...

The lecture notes contains an introduction to quantum groups, q-special functions and their interplay. After generalities on Hopf algebras, orthogonal polynomials and basic hypergeometric series we work out the relation between the quantum SU(2) group and the Askey-Wilson polynomials out in detail as the main example. As an application we derive an addition formula for a two-parameter subfamily...
