Abstract

between families of multivariate q-Hahn or q-Jacobi polynomials. The families of q-Hahn polynomials
are constructed as nested Clebsch–Gordan coefficients for the positive-discrete series representations of the
quantum algebra su

q
(1, 1). It is also shown that the families of q-Hahn polynomials arise in
wavefunctions of q-deformed quantum Calogero–Gaudin superintegrable systems of arbitrary
dimension.
The multi
variate q-Racah polynomials considered in this paper were originally introduced
by Gasper and Rahman in [7] as q-analogs of the multivariate Racah polynomials defined by
Tratnik in [34,35]. These q-Racah polynomials sit at the top of a hierarchy of orthogonal polyno-
mials that extends the Askey scheme of (univariate) q-orthogonal polynomials; T
ratnik’s Racah
polynomials and their descendants similarly generalize the Askey scheme at q = 1. These two
hierarchies will be referred to as the Gasper–Rahman and Tratnik schemes, respectively. The
Gasper–Rahman scheme of multivariate q-orthogonal polynomials should be distinguished from
the other multivariate extension of the Askey scheme based on root systems, which includes the
Macdonald–K
oornwinder polynomials [25] and the q-Racah polynomials defined by van Diejen
and Stokman [36].
Like the f
amilies of univariate polynomials from the Askey scheme, the polynomials of the
Gasper–Rahman and the Tratnik schemes are bispectral. Indeed, as shown by Iliev in [17], and
by Geronimo and Iliev in [14], these polynomials simultaneously diagonalize a pair of commu-
tative algebras of operators that act on the de
grees and on the variables of the polynomials,
respectively. The bispectral property is a key element in the link between these families of
polynomials, superintegrable systems, recoupling of algebra representations, and connection co-
efficients of multivariate orthogonal polynomials. Recall that a quantum system with d degrees
of freedom governed by a Hamiltonian H is deemed maximally superinte
grable if it admits
2d − 1 algebraically independent symmetry operators, including H itself, that commute with the
Hamiltonian [26].
For the uni
variate Racah polynomials, one has the following picture [11]. First, upon consid-
ering the 3-fold tensor product representations of su(1, 1), one finds that the two intermediate
Casimir operators associated to adjacent pairs of representations in the tensor product satisfy the
(rank one) Racah algebra, which is also the algebra generated by the tw
o operators involved in
the bispectral property of the univariate Racah polynomials. This leads to the identification of
the Racah polynomials as 6j (or Racah) coefficients of su(1, 1), which are the transition co-
efficients between the two eigenbases corresponding to the diagonalization of the intermediate
Casimir operators. Second, if one chooses the three representations being tensored to belong to
the positi
ve-discrete series, the total Casimir operator for the 3-fold tensor product representa-
tion can be identified with the Hamiltonian of the so-called generic superintegrable system on
the 2-sphere, and the intermediate Casimir operators correspond to its symmetries. Finally
, one
obtains the interpretation of the univariate Racah polynomials as connection coefficients between
two families of 2-variable Jacobi polynomials that arise as wavefunctions of the superintegrable
Hamiltonian. For a review of the connection between the Askey scheme and superintegrable sys-
tems, see [21]. For a review of the approach just described, the reader can also consult [10,12].
The picture described a
bove involving the one-variable Racah polynomials has recently been
fully generalized to Tratnik’s multivariate Racah polynomials. In [20], Iliev and Xu have shown
that these polynomials arise as connection coefficients between bases of multivariate Jacobi poly-
nomials on the simplex [5] and used this to compute connection coefficients for f
amilies of
discrete classical orthogonal polynomials studied in [19], as well as for orthogonal polynomials
on balls and spheres. In [18], Iliev has established the connection between the bispectral oper-
ators for the multivariate Racah polynomials and the symmetries of the generic superintegrable
system on the d-sphere. In [2], De Bie, Genest, va
n de Vijver and Vinet have unveiled the re-
V.X. Genest et al. / Nuclear Physics B 927 (2018) 97–123 99
lationship between this superintegrable model, d-fold tensor product representations of su(1, 1)
and the higher rank Racah algebra. See also [8,29,30].
Many of these results ha
ve yet to be extended to the q-deformed case. The interpretation of
the univariate q-Racah polynomials as 6j coefficients for the quantum algebra su
q
(1, 1) is well
known [37], as is its relation with the Zhedanov algebra and the operators involved in the bispec-
trality of the one-variable q-Racah polynomials [16,38]. Dunkl has also shown in [4] that these
polynomials arise as connection coefficients between bases of two-variable q-Jacobi or q-Hahn
polynomials. On the multi
variate side, Rosengren has observed that q-Hahn polynomials arise by
considering nested Clebsch–Gordan coefficients for su
q
(1, 1) and derived some explicit formu-
las [31]. Moreover, Scarabotti has examined similar families of multivariate q-Hahn polynomials
associated to binary trees and their connection coefficients [32].
Nevertheless, the identification of the multi
variate q-Racah polynomials as 3nj coefficients
of the quantum algebra su
q
(1, 1) has not been achieved. Moreover, the connection between
q-Racah polynomials, both univariate and multivariate, and superintegrable systems remains to
be determined. The present paper addresses these questions. As stated above, it will be shown that
Gasper & Rahman’s multivariate q-Racah polynomials arise as connection coefficients between
bases of multi
variate orthogonal q-Hahn or q-Jacobi polynomials. The bases will be constructed
using the nested Clebsch–Gordan coefficients for multifold tensor product representations of
su
q
(1, 1), which will provide the exact interpretation of the multivariate q-Racah polynomials
in terms of coupling coefficients for that quantum algebra. Finally, we will indicate how these
bases also serve as eigenbases for q-deformed Calogero–Gaudin superintegrable systems.
The paper is or
ganized as follows. In Section 1, background material on su
q
(1, 1) and its
positive-discrete representations is provided. In Section 2, the generalized Clebsch–Gordan prob-
lem of su
q
(1, 1) is considered. The bases of multivariate q-Hahn polynomials are introduced and
their bispectrality is related to commutative subalgebras of su
q
(1, 1)
⊗d
. In Section 3, it is shown
that the multivariate q-Racah polynomials arise as connecting coefficients between these bases.
The proof of the one variable case relies on a new generating function argument. In Section 4,
the connection with superintegrability is established. We conclude with an outlook.

In particular, the coproduct and the intermediate Casimir operators are introduced, and the rep-
resentations of the positive-discrete series are defined.

The coproduct map : su

The coproduct can be iterated to obtain embeddings of su
q
(1, 1) into higher tensor powers.
For a positive integer d, let

For 1 ≤ i<
j≤ d, let [i; j] denote the set {i, i + 1, ..., j }. To each set [i; j ], one can as-
sociate a realization of su

1.2. Representations of the positive-discrete series
Let α>0be a positive real number and let V
(α)
be an infinite-dimensional vector space with
orthonormal basis e
(α)
n
, where n is a non-negative integer. The space V
(α)
supports an irreducible
representation of su

Note that σ

series. On V

, the Casimir operator (2) acts as a multiple of the identity. Indeed, one easily

With the help of the nested coproduct defined in (3), one can define tensor product representations
of su
q
(1, 1). Let α = (α
1
, α

, ..., α

) with α

(α)
be the d-fold tensor product
W

As per (4), the space W
(α)
supports a representation of su
q
(1, 1) realized with the generators
A

on the basis vectors (10) is easily obtained by combining (4) and (6). As a represen-
tation space, W
(α)
is reducible and has the following decomposition in irreducible components:

When d = 2, a detailed proof of the decomposition (11) can be found in [33], see Theorem 2.1.
The proof in arbitrary dimension follows easily by induction on d, using the identity
s

k
=
s + a + 1
s
.
It follows from (11) that the total Casimir operator
[1;d]
defined by (5) is diagonalizable
on W

. Its eigenvalues λ

are given by
λ

where γ(α)is given by (8); these eigenvalues have multiplicity m

.
2. Multivariate q-Hahn bases and the Clebsch–Gordan problem
In this section, two orthogonal bases of multivariate q-Hahn polynomials are constructed in
the framework of the generalized Clebsch–Gordan problem for su
q
(1, 1). The connection be-
tween the standard Clebsch–Gordan problem involving two-fold tensor product representations
and the one-variable q-Hahn polynomials is first reviewed, and then generalized to the multifold
tensor product case. Two related bases of multivariate q-Jacobi polynomials are also introduced
through a limit.
2.1. Univariate q-Hahn polynomials and Clebsch–Gordan coefficients
We first consider the d = 2 case where W
(α

(α

. In addition to the direct prod-
uct basis (10), the space W
(α

admits another basis which is associated to its multiplicity-free
decomposition (11) in irreducible components. These basis elements f
