We investigate a class of power series occurring in some problems in quantum optics. Their coefficients are either Gegenbauer or Laguerre polynomials multiplied by binomial coefficients. Although their sums have been known for a long time, we employ here a different method to recover them as higher-order derivatives of the generating function of the given orthogonal polynomials. The key point in our proof consists in exploiting a specific functional equation satisfied by the generating function in conjunction with Cauchys integral formula for the derivatives of a holomorphic function. Special or limiting cases of Gegenbauer polynomials include the Legendre and Chebyshev polynomials. The series of Hermite polynomials is treated in a straightforward way, as well as an asymptotic case of either the Gegenbauer or the Laguerre series. Further, we have succeeded in evaluating the sum of a similar power series which is a higher-order derivative of Mehlers generating function. As a prerequisite, we have used a convenient factorization of the latter that enabled us to employ a particular Laguerre expansion. Mehlers summation formula is then applied in quantum mechanics in order to retrieve the propagator of a linear harmonic oscillator.
A survey of recents advances in the theory of Heun operators is offered. Some of the topics covered include: quadratic algebras and orthogonal polynomials, differential and difference Heun operators associated to Jacobi and Hahn polynomials, connections with time and band limiting problems in signal processing.
In this note, we derive the closed-form expression for the summation of series $sum_{n=0}^{infty}nJ_n(x)partial J_n/partial n$, which is found in the calculation of entanglement entropy in 2-d bosonic free field, in terms of $Y_0$, $J_0$ and an integral involving these two Bessel functions. Further, we point out the integral can be expressed as a Meijer G function.
We apply the bi-moment determinant method to compute a representation of the matrix product algebra -- a quadratic algebra satisfied by the operators $mathbf{d}$ and $mathbf{e}$ -- for the five parameter ($alpha$, $beta$, $gamma$, $delta$ and $q$) Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process. This method requires an $LDU$ decomposition of the ``bi-moment matrix. The decomposition defines a new pair of basis vectors sets, the `boundary basis. This basis is defined by the action of polynomials ${P_n}$ and ${Q_n}$ on the quantum oscillator basis (and its dual). Theses polynomials are orthogonal to themselves (ie. each satisfy a three term recurrence relation) and are orthogonal to each other (with respect to the same linear functional defining the stationary state). Hence termed `bi-orthogonal. With respect to the boundary basis the bi-moment matrix is diagonal and the representation of the operator $mathbf{d}+mathbf{e}$ is tri-diagonal. This tri-diagonal matrix defines another set of orthogonal polynomials very closely related to the the Askey-Wilson polynomials (they have the same moments).
Discrete spectral transformations of skew orthogonal polynomials are presented. From these spectral transformations, it is shown that the corresponding discrete integrable systems are derived both in 1+1 dimension and in 2+1 dimension. Especially in the (2+1)-dimensional case, the corresponding system can be extended to 2x2 matrix form. The factorization theorem of the Christoffel kernel for skew orthogonal polynomials in random matrix theory is presented as a by-product of these transformations.
Skew-orthogonal polynomials (SOPs) arise in the study of the n-point distribution function for orthogonal and symplectic random matrix ensembles. Motivated by the average of characteristic polynomials of the Bures random matrix ensemble studied in [22], we propose the concept of partial-skew-orthogonal polynomials (PSOPs) as a modification of the SOPs, and then the PSOPs with a variety of special skew-symmetric kernels and weight functions are addressed. By considering appropriate deformations of the weight functions, we derive nine integrable lattices in different dimensions. As a consequence, the tau-functions for these systems are shown to be expressed in terms of Pfaffians and the wave vectors PSOPs. In fact, the tau-functions also admit the representations of multiple integrals. Among these integrable lattices, some of them are known, while the others are novel to the best of our knowledge. In particular, one integrable lattice is related to the partition function of the Bures random matrix ensemble. Besides, we derive a discrete integrable lattice, which can be used to compute certain vector Pade approximants. This yields the first example regarding the connection between integrable lattices and vector Pade approximants, for which Hietarinta, Joshi and Nijhoff pointed out that This field remains largely to be explored. in the recent monograph [27, Section 4.4] .
