Automorphisms of the q-deformed algebra suq(1, 1) and d-Orthogonal polynomials of q-Meixner type

Abstract

Starting from an operator given as a product of q-exponential functions in irreducible representations of the positive discrete series of the q-deformed algebra suq(1, 1), we express the associated matrix elements in terms of d-orthogonal polynomials. An algebraic setting allows to establish some properties : recurrence relation, generating function, lowering operator, explicit expression and d-orthogonality relations of the involved polynomials which are reduced to the orthogonal q-Meixner polynomials when d=1. If q ↑ 1, these polynomials tend to some d-orthogonal polynomials of Meixner type.
