Covariant differential operators (Q757620)

Let G/K be a Hermitian symmetric space, \(U_{\tau}\), \(U_{\xi}\) holomorphically induced representations. A covariant differential operator \(D=D_{\tau,\xi}\) is a continuous operator intertwining \(U_{\tau}\) and \(U_{\xi}\). The authors introduce a distinguished covariant differential operator associated to a unitarizable module L and prove that the space of K-finite vectors in the kernel of this operator is isomorphic to L. The bimodule structure of spaces of functions on G can be used to define gradient-type differential operators of the second kind. The main result is the description of these operators.
