Polynomial projectors preserving homogeneous partial differential equations (Q2566249)

A polynomial projector \( \Pi \) of degree \( d \) on \( H( {\mathbb C^{n}} ) \) is said to preserve homogeneous partial differential equations (HPDE) of degree \( k \) if for every \( f \in H( {\mathbb C^{n}})\) and every homogeneous polynomial of degree \( k,q(z) = \sum_{| \alpha | = k} a_{\alpha} z^{\alpha}\), there holds the implication: \( q(D)f = 0 \Rightarrow q(D) \Pi(f) = 0\). The authors proved that a polynomial projector \( \Pi \) preserves HPDE of degree \( k\), \(1\leq k\leq d\), if and only if there are analytic functionals \( \mu _{k} , \mu _{k + 1} ,\dots, \mu _{d} \in H' (\mathbb C^n) \) with \( \mu_i (1) \neq 0\), \(i=k,\dots,d\), such that \( \Pi \) is represented in the following form \( \Pi(f)= \sum_{| \alpha | < k} a_\alpha(f) u_\alpha+ \sum_{k \leq| \alpha | \leq d} D^\alpha \mu _{| \alpha | } u_\alpha\) with some \( a_\alpha's \in H' (\mathbb C^n)\), \(| \alpha | <k\), where \( u_\alpha(z):= z^\alpha/\alpha!\). The paper studies an example of polynomial projectors preserving HPDE of degree \(k\) \((k\geq 1)\) without preserving HPDE of smaller degree. It is shown that a polynomial projector which preserves HPDE of degree \( k \) necessarily preserves HPDE of every degree not smaller than \( k\). The paper gives a characterization of Abel-Gontcharov projectors as the only Birkhoff polynomial projectors that preserve all HPDE.
