Heisenberg algebra, umbral calculus and orthogonal polynomials

Abstract: Abstract. Umbral calculus can be viewed as an abstract theory of the Heisenberg commutation relation [P ,M ] = 1. In ordinary quantum mechanicsP is the derivative andM the coordinate operator. Here we shall realizeP as a second order differential operator andM as a first order integral one. We show that this makes it possible to solve large classes of differential and integro-differential equations and to introduce new classes of orthogonal polynomials, related to Laguerre polynomials. These polynomials are pa… Show more

“…Because of this correspondence, we would like to stress that the quantum mechanical description of umbral calculus gives us many degrees of freedom to construct the raising operators in such way that the commuting relations 1 fulfill. In particular, in , it was pointed out the importance to consider the following symmetrized versions of as a special type of canonical discretization.…”

“…In a numbers of previous papers [5,6,7,8] it has been established that the umbral image of a Bessel function is a Gaussian. This statement can be profitably exploited within the present context, provided we premise some concepts [8,9].…”

“…Methods of algebraic and umbral nature possess, among the other advantages, the undoubtful merit of simplifying practical computational issues. In a numbers of previous papers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] it has been established that the one of the possible umbral images of a Bessel function is a Gaussian. This statement can be profitably exploited in the present context, provided we establish some reference tools [6,8].…”
