Abstract: In 1999 M. Aigner defined Catalan-like numbers as North-West entries of powers of semi-infinite three-diagonal matrices. In this talk I will generalize this construction to various matrices over noncommutative rings and discuss properties of the corresponding generating functions. I will also consider orthogonal polynomials associated with these "numbers". Most of the results are new even in the commutative case. Joint work with A. Berenstein and M. Gekhtman.
