Representation theory and special functions

366 Views Asked by At

It is well-known that many special functions arrives from the representation theory of some groups. For example Jacobi polynomials follows from $SU(2)$ group.

Is it any book/article where such relations between special functions and groups are include ?

I am looking for orthogonal polynomials which can be obtained from direct sums or tensor products of the simplest groups of matrices. I need some summary list of such objects.
