Coupling coefficients for tensor product representations of quantum $\mathrm{SU}(2)$

Abstract

We study tensor products of infinite dimensional representations (not corepresentations) of the $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ quantum group. Eigenvectors of certain self-adjoint elements are obtained, and coupling coefficients between different eigenvectors are computed. The coupling coefficients can be considered as $q$-analogs of Bessel functions. As a results we obtain several $q$-integral identities involving $q$-hypergeometric orthogonal polynomials and $q$-Bessel-type functions.
