Orthogonal basis for spherical monogenics by step two branching (Q663449)

The authors study higher dimensional function theory of monogenic functions; for references to the theory see [\textit{F. Brackx, R. Delanghe} and \textit{F. Sommen}, Clifford analysis. Research Notes in Mathematics, 76. Boston-London-Melbourne: Pitman Advanced Publishing Program (1982; Zbl 0529.30001); \textit{R. Delanghe, F. Sommen} and \textit{V.

Murray}, Clifford algebras and Dirac operators in harmonic analysis. Cambridge (UK): Cambridge University Press (1991; Zbl 0733.43001)]. The aim of this publication is to study the decomposition of spherical harmonics and monogenics under the action of \(\text{Spin}(p)\times \text{Spin}(q)\). The authors also obtain an orthonormal basis for spherical harmonics and monogenics. The key tool is the Fischer decomposition. Another construction of \(\text{Spin}(p)\times \text{Spin}(q)\)-invariant spaces of monogenic functions is given in [\textit{A. K. Common} and \textit{F. Sommen}, J. Math. Anal.
