Zeros and orthogonality of the Askey-Wilson polynomials for q a root of unity

چکیده
We study some properties of the Askey-Wilson polynomials (AWP) when q is a primitive Nth root of unity. For general four-parameter AWP, zeros of the Nth polynomial and the orthogonality measure are found explicitly. Special subclasses of the AWP, e.g., the continuous q-Jacobi and big q-Jacobi polynomials, are considered in detail. A set of discrete weight functions positive on a real interval is described. Some new trigonometric identities related to the AWP are obtained. Normalization conditions of some polynomials are expressed in terms of the Gauss sums.

On Some Limit Cases of Askey-wilson Polynomials
We show that limit transitions from Askey-Wilson polynomials to q-Racah, little and big q-Jacobi polynomials can be made rigorous on the level of their orthogonality measures in a suitable weak sense. This allows us to derive the orthogonality relations and norm evaluations for the q-Racah polynomials, little and big q-Jacobi polynomials by taking limits in the orthogonality relations and norm ...

Abstract. The five parameter family of multivariable Askey-Wilson polynomials is studied with four parameters generically complex. The multivariable Askey-Wilson polynomials form an orthogonal system with respect to an explicit (in general complex) measure. A partially discrete orthogonality measure is obtained by shifting the contour to the torus while picking up residues. A parameter domain i...
متن کاملExpansions in the Askey–Wilson Polynomials
We give a general expansion formula of functions in the Askey–Wilson polynomials and using the Askey–Wilson orthogonality we evaluate several integrals. Moreover we give a general expansion formula of functions in polynomials of Askey–Wilson type, which are not necessarily orthogonal. Limiting cases give expansions in little and big q-Jacobi type polynomials. We also give a new generating funct...
متن کاملA q-analogue of the 9-j symbols and their orthogonality
We introduce a q-analogue of Wigner’s 9 − j symbols following the notational scheme used by Wilson in identifying the 6 − j symbols with Racah polynomials, which eventually led Askey and Wilson to obtain a q-analogue of them, namely, the q-Racah polynomials. More importantly, we prove the orthogonality of our analogue in complete generality, as well as derive a polynomial expression for these n...

Dynamical quantum groups were recently introduced by Etingof and Varchenko as an algebraic framework for studying the dynamical Yang–Baxter equation, which is precisely the Yang–Baxter equation satisfied by 6j-symbols. We investigate one of the simplest examples, generalizing the standard SU(2) quantum group. The matrix elements for its corepresentations are identified with Askey–Wilson polynom...
