Nov 24, 2015 at 15:54 comment added Vít Tuček By introducing some special coordinates I guess you are maybe breaking symmetry from $SO(4)$ to $SO(2)\times SO(2)$. And so the sought recurrence formula could be perhaps obtained from the branching of the polynomial representation $SO(4)$ to the subgroup $SO(2)\times SO(2)$. I've tagged this question with representation theory and Lie algebras.
Nov 24, 2015 at 15:54 comment added Vít Tuček Usually, there is a connection between special functions and representation theory of Lie groups / algebras. E.g. you can decompose polynomials on $\mathbb{R}^n$ as products of a polynomial in $\|x\|^2$ and a harmonic polynomial. The latter giving you eigenfunction of the Laplacian on the sphere $S^{n-1} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$. See books.google.cz/…
Nov 24, 2015 at 15:53 comment added Vít Tuček I have never heard about Zernike polynomials before and I don't understand how they are related to solutions of the Laplace equation on $\mathbb{R}^4$. I don't really understand how you define $\gamma$.
