The analysis of the most general second-order superintegrable system in two dimensions: the generic 3-parameter model on the 2-sphere, is cast in the framework of the Racah problem for the su(1,1) algebra. The Hamiltonian of the 3-parameter system and the generators of its quadratic symmetry algebra are seen to correspond to the total and intermediate Casimir operators of the combination of three su(1,1) algebras, respectively. The construction makes explicit the isomorphism between the Racah-Wilson algebra, which is the fundamental algebraic structure behind the Racah problem for su(1,1), and the invariance algebra of the generic 3-parameter system. It also provides an explanation for the occurrence of the Racah polynomials as overlap coefficients in this context. The irreducible representations of the Racah-Wilson algebra are reviewed as well as their connection with the Askey scheme of classical orthogonal polynomials.

  1. Revisiting the Askey--Wilson algebra with the universal R-matrix of $U_q(sl(2))$

    math.QA 2019-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new R-matrix formula defines the third Askey-Wilson generator as a conjugate of the Casimir element in U_q(sl(2))^{⊗3}, and the Askey-Wilson relations are derived from it.
