q-orthogonal polynomials related to the quantum group Uq(so(5))

Alexander Rozenblyum

Abstract

Orthogonal polynomials in two discrete variables related to finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the quantum algebra Uq(so(5)) are studied. The polynomials we consider here can be treated as two-dimensional q-analogs of Krawtchouk polynomials. Some properties of these polynomials are investigated: the difference equation of the Sturm-Liouville type, the weight function, the corresponding eigenvalues including the explicit description of their multiplicities.
