Recently, Cariñena, et al. [Ann. Phys. 322, 434, (2007)]  introduced a new family of orthogonal polynomials that appear in the wave functions of the quantum harmonic oscillator in two-dimensional constant curvature spaces. They are a generalization of the Hermite polynomials and will be called curved Hermite polynomials in the following. We show that these polynomials are naturally related to the relativistic Hermite polynomials introduced by Aldaya et al. [Phys. Lett. A 156, 381 (1991)], and thus are Jacobi polynomials. Moreover, we exhibit a natural bijection between the solutions of the quantum harmonic oscillator on negative curvature spaces and on positive curvature spaces. At last, we show a maximum entropy property for the ground states of these oscillators and thus are Jacobi polynomials. and thus are Jacobi polynomials.
