Algebraically independent generators of invariant differential operators on a bounded symmetric domain (Q1814221)

This paper gives a description of a set of algebraically independent generators of the algebra of differential operators on a bounded Hermitian symmetric domain, which are invariant under the group of holomorphic automorphisms. The description is in the spirit of Jordan triple systems (JTS) and as such, is transparent and does not use the classification. If \(\mathcal D\) is a bounded irreducible Hermitian symmetric domain, realized as the spectral unit ball of a Hermitian JTS of rank \(r\), let \(Q(z)\) and \(B(z,z)\) be the operators classically associated to this structure: let \(( , )_ 0\) be the Bergman metric of \({\mathcal D}\) at 0, divided by the genus: then the differential operators \(p_ j(z,\partial/\partial z)\), \(1\leq j\leq r\) \[ p_ j(z,v)=((Q(v)B(z,z)^{j-1}v,\;B(z,z)v)_ 0 \] are algebraically independent generators of the algebra of invariant differential operators (\(p_ 1\) gives the Laplace-Beltrami operator). The correspondence between \(K\)-invariant polynomials \(f\) and invariant differential operators on \({\mathcal D}\) is described by \(f\rightarrowtail p(z,\partial/\partial z)\), \(p(z,v)=f((B(z,z)^{1/2}v)\).
