Abstract We investigate some spectral properties of a second order differential-difference operator $$J_{\alpha ,\beta }$$ J α , β on $$L^2((-\pi ,\pi ),d\mu _{\alpha , \beta })$$ L <mm...

The explicit expressions of the representation functions (D-functions) for Jordanian quantum group SLh(2) are obtained by combination of tensor operator technique and Drinfeld twist. It is shown that the D-functions can be expressed in terms of Jacobi polynomials as the undeformed D-functions can. Some of the important properties of the D-functions for SLh(2) such as Winger’s product law, recur...
