Super Krawtchouk Polynomials via Lie Superalgebras
arXiv:2605.04301
Abstract
Multivariate extensions of the Krawtchouk polynomials have been studied by numerous authors in recent decades by exploring new connections to probability, representation theory and quantum integrability. We develop a theory of multivariate super Krawtchouk polynomials using the representation theory of the general linear Lie superalgebra, extending results of the first author in the classical setting. Specifically, in the present work we generalize the classical Krawtchouk polynomials, prove their orthogonality, construct certain recurrence relations, and discuss their connections with zonal spherical functions arising from a fermionic Fock-space framework in quantum mechanics.
