These polynomials are related with the finite-dimensional representations of the algebra $gl(2) \\ltimes {\\it R}^3 \\in g^{(2)}$, which occurs as the hidden algebra of the $G_2$ rational integrable system of 3 bodies on the line (the Wolfes model). Namely, those polynomials occur in the study of the Zeeman effect on Hydrogen atom.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-12-02T20:11:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hydrogen atom", "two-body coulomb problem", "polynomials occur", "three-dimensional system", "wolfes model" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
