For a projective variety \(X\) (over an algebraic closed field \(\mathbf{k}\) of characteristic zero) and a line bundle \(L\) over \(X\), one considers the \(L\)-twisted global differential operator algebra \(\mathcal{D}_L(X)\) which naturally operates on the space of global sections \(H^0(X,L)\). This algebra is the global section algebra of a sheaf of algebras defined from \(L\) and the sheaf of differential operators over \(X\). According to the famous Borel-Weil theorem, if \(G/P\) is a flag variety and if \(L\) is a line bundle over \(G/P\), then the space \(H^0(G/P,L)\) is an irreducible representation of the Lie algebra of the automorphism group of \(G/P\), or 0. If \(\overline{G}\) is the wonderful compactification of an adjoint semisimple algebraic group \(G\), then all the line bundles over G are \(\widetilde{G}\times\widetilde{G}\)-linearized (\(\widetilde{G}\) being the universal covering of \(G\)) and the space of global sections \(H^0(G,L)\) is a representation of \(\widetilde{G}\times\widetilde{G}\) which is reducible in general. When \(X=\overline{\text{PGL}_3}\), the author gives a 2-order differential operator defined over the whole \(\overline{G}\), but which does not arise from the infinitesimal action of the automorphism group \(\Aut(\overline{G})\). Then, by using this operator, he proves that the space \(H^0(\overline{G},L)\) is irreducible (or zero) as a \(\mathcal{D}_L(\overline{G})\)-module, for all line bundles \(L\) over \(\overline{G}\). The author finishes with a similar result when \(X\) is the complete conic variety. This last variety is the wonderful compactification of \(\text{PGL}_3/\text{PSO}_3\) and can be realized in the following way: let \(S_3\) the space of symmetric matrices of order 3 over \(\mathbf{k}\). Then \(X\) is \(\{([S], [S'])\in \mathbb{P}(S_3)\times \mathbb{P}(S_3): SS'\in \mathbf{k}I_3\}\) (one can identify \(g\text{PSO}_3\in \text{PGL}_3/\text{PSO}_3\) with \((g^{t}g, g^{-1}(g^{t})^{-1})\)).
