Very fun reference. I vaguely knew the story of Vilenkin relating special functions to representation theory, but it's a beautiful story. I didn't know, for instance, that the group contraction SO(3) to E_2 can be used to 'explain' why Bessel functions yield asymptotics for Legendre polynomials. 1/2

this is what we have the renormalization group for Goku is just at a critical point
