Conformally covariant differential operators for the diagonal action of \(O(p,q)\) on real quadrics (Q1711053): Difference between revisions

Let \(X\) be a real quadric and let \(G\) be its group of conformal transformations. Then \(G\) has an open dense orbit in its diagonal action on \(X\times X\) which is a \textit{reductive symmetric space}. The natural action of \(G\) on the space \(H_\lambda\) of smooth \(\frac{\lambda}{n}\)-densities induces a smooth representation \(\pi _\lambda\) of \(G\) on \(H_\lambda\). The aim of this paper is to construct and study a family of differential operators on \(X\times X\), depending on two complex parameters \((\lambda, \mu)\), which are covariant with respect to \((\pi_\lambda \otimes \pi_\mu , \pi _{\lambda +1}\otimes \pi _{\mu +1})\). A useful approach is to consider \(X\) as the projective variety associated to the isotropic cone of an \textit{ambient space} \((V, Q)\), where \(Q\) is a quadratic form on the real vector space \(V\).
