Abstract: The Lie algebra mathfraksu(1,1) can be deformed by a reflection operator, in such a way that the positive discrete series representations of mathfraksu(1,1) can be extended to representations of this deformed algebra mathfraksu(1,1)gamma. Just as the positive discrete series representations of mathfraksu(1,1) can be used to model a quantum oscillator with Meixner-Pollaczek polynomials as wave functions, the corresponding representations of mathfraksu(1,1)gamma can be utilized to construct models of a quantum oscillator. In this case, the wave functions are expressed in terms of continuous dual Hahn polynomials. We study some properties of these wave functions, and illustrate some features in plots. We also discuss some interesting limits and special cases of the obtained oscillator models.
