In this thesis, we introduce the quantum groups Uq(SL(2,C)) and Aq(SL(2,C)) as Hopf algebras. We study their representations, including their similarities and differences with the classical theory. We show that the eigenvectors of Koorwinder's twisted primitive elements of Uq(SU(2)) are dual q-Krawtchouk polynomials. We use this explicit expression to define generalised matrix elements and spherical functions in Aq(SL(2,C)). Then we use the Haar functional to show that these generalised matrix elements are Askey-Wilson polynomials with two continuous and two discrete parameters. Next, we show a new result. Namely, two twisted primitive elements of Uq(SL(2,C)) generate Zhedanov's Askey-Wilson algebra AW(3). Consequently, AW(3) is embedded as a subalgebra into Uq(SL(2,C)). We use this to show that overlap functions of twisted primitive elements in Uq(SU(2)) are q-Racah polynomials. With that, we derive a summation formula connecting q-Racah and dual q-Krawtchouk polynomials.

Dit verslag geeft als eerste een overzicht van basis resultaten van de Riemann zeta functie. Vervolgens worden twee meer specifieke resultaten laten zien met betrekking tot de nulpunten van deze Riemann zeta functie.
