From Conformal Group to Symmetries of Hypergeometric Type Equations

We show that properties of hypergeometric type equations become transparent if they are derived from appropriate 2nd order partial differential equations with constant coefficients. In particular, we deduce the symmetries of the hypergeometric and Gegenbauer equation from conformal symmetries of the...

Zusammenfassung:We show that properties of hypergeometric type equations become transparent if they are derived from appropriate 2nd order partial differential equations with constant coefficients. In particular, we deduce the symmetries of the hypergeometric and Gegenbauer equation from conformal symmetries of the 4- and 3-dimensional Laplace equation. We also derive the symmetries of the confluent and Hermite equation from the so-called Schrödinger symmetries of the heat equation in 2 and 1 dimension. Finally, we also describe how properties of the ₀F₁ equation follow from the Helmholtz equation in 2 dimensions.
