The Bannai-Ito algebra was originally introduced in [21] as the algebraic structure underlying the bispectral property of the BannaiIto polynomials, which sit atop of the hierarchy of "−1" orthogonal polynomials [9,21]. This algebra has generators A 1 , A 2 , A 3 and defining relations…”

Abstract. The kernel of the Z n 2 Dirac-Dunkl operator is examined. The symmetry algebra An of the associated Dirac-Dunkl equation on S n−1 is determined and is seen to correspond to a higher rank generalization of the Bannai-Ito algebra. A basis for the polynomial null-solutions of the DiracDunkl operator is constructed. The basis elements are joint eigenfunctions of a maximal commutative subalgebra of An and are given explicitly in terms of Jacobi polynomials. The symmetry algebra is shown to act irreducibly on this basis via raising/lowering operators. A scalar realization of An is proposed.

“…The algebra (1) was first presented in [27] as the algebraic structure encoding the bispectral properties of the Bannai-Ito polynomials, which together with the Complementary Bannai-Ito polynomials are the parents of the family of −1 polynomials [15,27]. The Bannai-Ito algebra also arises in representation theoretic problems [17] and in superintegrable systems [16]; see [2] for a recent overview.…”

The Dirac-Dunkl operator on the 2-sphere associated to the Z 3 2 reflection group is considered. Its symmetries are found and are shown to generate the Bannai-Ito algebra. Representations of the Bannai-Ito algebra are constructed using ladder operators. Eigenfunctions of the spherical Dirac-Dunkl operator are obtained using a Cauchy-Kovalevskaia extension theorem. These eigenfunctions, which correspond to Dunkl monogenics, are seen to support finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the Bannai-Ito algebra.

The equitable presentation of the quantum superalgebra osp q (1|2), in which all generators appear on an equal footing, is exhibited. It is observed that in their equitable presentations, the quantum algebras osp q (1|2) and sl q (2) are related to one another by the formal transformation q → −q. A q-analog of the Bannai-Ito algebra is shown to arise as the covariance algebra of osp q (1|2). AMS classification numbers: 17B37, 20G42, 81R50 IntroductionThe purpose of this Letter is threefold: to display the equitable, or Z 3 -symmetric, presentation of the quantum superalgebra osp q (1|2), to show that the equitable presentations of osp q (1|2) and sl q (2) are related to one another by the formal transformation q → −q, and to demonstrate that the covariance algebra of osp q (1|2) is a q-analog of the Bannai-Ito algebra.Our considerations take root in the Racah problem for the su(2) algebra, i.e. the coupling of three angular momenta. In this problem, the states are usually described in terms of the quantum numbers j i associated to the individual angular momenta J i with i ∈ {1, 2, 3}, the quantum number j associated to the total angular momentum J = J 1 + J 2 + J 3 , the quantum number M associated to the projection of the total angular momentum J along one axis, and any one of the quantum numbers j 12 , j 23 , j 31 associated to the intermediate angular momenta (23), (31)}. These bases are related via Racah coefficients [3]. The main drawback of such bases is their involved behavior under particle permutations. To circumvent this problem, Chakrabarti [2], Lévy-Leblond and Lévy-Nahas [20] devised an "equitable" coupling scheme and showed that there is a "democratic" basis specified by the quantum numbers j 1 , j 2 , j 3 , j and ζ, where ζ is the eigenvalue of the volume operator ∆ = ( J 1 × J 2 ) · J 3 . The three angular momenta J i enter symmetrically in this scheme and the states of the democratic basis have definite behaviors under particle permutations.The Racah-Wilson algebra is the hidden algebraic structure behind the Racah problems of su(2) and su(1, 1) [11]. The concern for a democratic approach to these Racah problems leads to the equitable presentation of this algebra [9]. In this presentation, the defining relations of the RacahWilson algebra are Z 3 -symmetric and all the generators appear on an equal footing, whence the epithets "equitable" or "democratic". It was recently shown in [5] that the equitable generators of the Racah/Wilson algebra can also be realized as quadratic expressions in the equitable sl(2) generators proposed in [14]. Note that the Racah-Wilson algebra also arises as symmetry algebra for superintegrable systems [16] and encodes the bispectrality of the Racah/Wilson polynomials [6].
