Representations of the quantum algebra suq(1,1) and discrete q-ultraspherical polynomials

Abstract:
We derive orthogonality relations for discrete q-ultraspherical polynomials and for their duals by means of operators of discrete series representations of the quantum algebra suq(1,1). Spectra and eigenfunctions of these operators are found explicitly. These eigenfunctions, when normalized, form an orthonormal basis in the representation space.
