Intertwining operators associated with dihedral groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The Dunkl operators associated to a dihedral group are a pair of differential-difference operators that generate a commutative algebra acting on differentiable functions in mathbbR2. The intertwining operator intertwines between this algebra and the algebra of differential operators. The main result of this paper is an integral representation of the intertwining operator on a class of functions. As an application, closed formulas for the Poisson kernels of h-harmonics and sieved Gegenbauer polynomials are deduced when one of the variables is at vertices of a regular polygon, and similar formulas are also derived for several other related families of orthogonal polynomials.


The Fourier analysis associated with reflection groups has attracted considerable attention. The purpose of this paper is to study intertwining operators associated with dihedral groups. The main result gives an integral representation for the intertwining operator on a class of functions. As an application, a closed form formula for the Poisson kernel of the \(h\)-harmonics associated with the dihedral group \(I_ k\) is obtained. For one-parameter, the Poisson kernel can be expressed as a hypergeometric function. The dihedral groups \(I_{2k}\) and \(I_{2k+1}\) with positive root systems are considered separately and corresponding Dunkl operators are computed. The generalized Gegenbauer polynomials can be expressed in terms of Jacobi polynomials, which leads to formulas for the \(h\)-harmonics. Finally, an explicit basis of orthogonal polynomials or sieved Gegenbauer polynomials can be derived.
