Associated Lame and various other new classes of elliptic potentials from sl(2,R) and related orthogonal polynomials

Using representations of sl(2,R) generators which yield associated Lame Hamiltonians we obtain new classes of elliptic potentials. We explicitly calculate eigenstates and spectra for these potentials and construct the associated orthogonal polynomials. We show that in the proper limit these potentials reduce to well-known exactly solvable potentials. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
