On the dimensions of the oscillator algebras induced by orthogonal polynomials

G. Honnouvo, K. Thirulogasanthar

Published 2013-05-11, updated 2014-09-18Version 2

There is a generalized oscillator algebra associated with every class of orthogonal polynomials $\{\Psi_n(x)\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$, on the real line, satisfying a three term recurrence relation $x\Psi_n(x)=b_n\Psi_{n+1}(x)+b_{n-1}\Psi_{n-1}(x), \Psi_0(x)=1, b_{-1}=0$. This note presents necessary and safficient conditions on $b_n$ for such algebras to be of finite dimension. As examples, we discuss the dimensions of oscillator algebras associated with Hermite, Legendre and Gegenbauer polynomials. In addition we shall also discuss the dimensions of some generalized deformed oscillator algebras. Some remarks on the dimensions of oscillator algebras associated with multi-boson systems are also presented.
