Abstract: The spaces of linear differential operators on mathbbRn acting on tensor densities of degree lambda and the space of functions on TmathbbRn which are polynomial on the fibers are not isomorphic as modules over the Lie algebra Vect(mathbbRn) of vector fields on mathbbRn. However, these modules are isomorphic as sl(n+1,mathbbR)-modules where sl(n+1,mathbbR)subsetVect(mathbbRn) is the Lie algebra of infinitesimal projective transformations. In addition, such an sln+1-equivariant bijection is unique (up to normalization). This leads to a notion of projectively equivariant quantization and symbol calculus for a manifold endowed with a (flat) projective structure. We apply the sln+1-equivariant symbol map to study the Vect(M)-modules of linear differential operators acting on tensor densities, for an arbitrary manifold M.
