Exactly solvable discrete quantum mechanical systems and multi-indexed orthogonal polynomials of the continuous Hahn and Meixner–Pollaczek types

Abstract

Abstract We present new exactly solvable systems of the discrete quantum mechanics with pure imaginary shifts, whose physical range of coordinates is a whole real line. These systems are shape invariant and their eigenfunctions are described by the multi-indexed continuous Hahn and Meixner–Pollaczek orthogonal polynomials. The set of degrees of these multi-indexed polynomials is $\{\ell_{\mathcal{D}},\ell_{\mathcal{D}}+1,\ell_{\mathcal{D}}+2,\ldots\}$, where $\ell_{\mathcal{D}}$ is an even positive integer ($\mathcal{D}$: a multi-index set), but they form a complete set of orthogonal basis in the weighted Hilbert space.
