Spectrum and eigenfunctions of these operators are found explicitly. These eigenfunctions, when normalized, form an orthogonal basis in the representation space. The initial U_q(su_{1,1})-basis and the bases of these eigenfunctions are interconnected by matrices, whose entries are expressed in terms of little and big q-Jacobi polynomials. The orthogonality by rows in these unitary connection matrices leads to the orthogonality relations for little and big q-Jacobi polynomials. The orthogonality by columns in the connection matrices leads to an explicit form of orthogonality relations on the countable set of points for {}_3\\phi_2 and {}_3\\phi_1 polynomials, which are dual to big and little q-Jacobi polynomials, respectively. The orthogonality measure for the dual little q-Jacobi polynomials proves to be extremal, whereas the measure for the dual big q-Jacobi polynomials is not extremal.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2003-10-06T18:37:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "33D80", "33D45", "17B37" ], "keywords": [ "q-orthogonal polynomials", "orthogonality relations", "dual little q-jacobi polynomials", "dual big q-jacobi polynomials", "discrete series representations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math......7250A" } } }
