An algebraic interpretation of the $q$-Meixner polynomials

Abstract

An algebraic interpretation of the $q$-Meixner polynomials is obtained. It is based on representations of $\mathcal{U}_q(\mathfrak{su}(1,1))$ on $q$-oscillator states with the polynomials appearing as matrix elements of unitary $q$-pseudorotation operators. These operators are built from $q$-exponentials of the $\mathcal{U}_q(\mathfrak{su}(1,1))$ generators. The orthogonality, recurrence relation, difference equation, and other properties of the $q$-Mexiner polynomials are systematically obtained in the proposed framework.
