Chebyshev polynomials of the first and the second kind in n variables z. , Zt , ... , z„ are introduced. The variables z, , z-,..... z„ are the characters of the representations of SL(n + 1, C) corresponding to the fundamental weights. The Chebyshev polynomials are eigenpolynomials of a second order linear partial differential operator which is in fact the radial part of the Laplace-Beltrami op...
