Invariant differential operators on symplectic Grassmann manifolds (Q1328169)

Let \(G = G_{n,r} = \text{Sp}_{2n} \ltimes M_{2n,r}\) be the semidirect product of the symplectic group \(\text{Sp}_{2n}\) and of the vector space \(M_{2n,r}\) of real or complex \(2n\) by \(r\) matrices equipped with the natural actions of \(\text{Sp}_{2n}\). The authors compute the algebra of left invariant differential operators on the homogeneous space \(G/H\) where \(H = G_{p,r} \times \text{Sp}_{2n - 2p}\) (\(0 \leq p \leq n -1\)) is a subgroup of \(G\) (in geometrical terms, on the space of \(r\)-tuples of parallel \(2p\)-dimensional affine subspaces with non-degenerate symplectic form). The method is modified to give the left invariant operators on analogous homogeneous spaces steming from the orthogonal group.
