Conformal covariants (Q1084194)

(From the author's introduction) ''By a conformal covariant we mean a holomorphic differential operator which intertwines two holomorphic representations of the conformal group SU(2,2). In this article we determine all such. [...] The determination of the set of covariant differential operators is equivalent to the determination of the set of homomorphisms between so- called generalized Verma modules. We present here a complete description of the full set of homomorphisms between generalized Verma modules \(M(V_{\tau})\) for the conformal group. Furthermore we determine the subspace structure of the \(M(V_{\tau})'s.''\) These modules are defined as follows. Let \(G=SU(2,2)\), with Lie algebra \({\mathfrak g}\), let \(K=S(U(2)\times U(2))\), and \({\mathfrak p}^+\), resp. \({\mathfrak p}^-\), be the space of all \(\begin{pmatrix} 0&b \\ 0&0 \end{pmatrix}\), resp. \(\begin{pmatrix} 0&0 \\ c&0 \end{pmatrix}\), where b, c are complex \(2\times 2\) matrices. Then an irreducible unitary representation \(\tau\) of K on a space \(V_{\tau}\) gives rise to the left \(U({\mathfrak g}^{{\mathbb{C}}})\)- module: \(M(V_{\tau})=U({\mathfrak p}^-)\cdot V_{\tau}\), with \({\mathfrak p}^+\) acting trivially on a highest weight vector of \(\tau\).
