Abstract: The classical Rankin-Cohen brackets are bi-differential operators from $C^{i}nfty(mathbbR)imes{C}^{i}nfty(mathbbR)$ into $C^{i}nfty(mathbbR)$. They are covariant for the (diagonal) action of $mSL(2,mathbbR)$ through principal series representations. We construct generalizations of these operators, replacing $mathbbR$ by $mathbb{R}^n,$ the group $mSL(2,mathbbR)$ by the group ${mSO}_0(1,n+1)$ viewed as the conformal group of $mathbb{R}^n,$ and functions by differential forms.

Review text

The aim of this paper is a construction of bi-differential operators acting on spaces of differential forms which are covariant for the conformal group of \(\mathbb{R}^n\), more precisely for the group \(\mathrm{SO}_0(1, n+1)\). This construction is based on the \textit{source operators} method. In details, the source operators are obtained as a composition of the multiplication operator by the function \(\|x-y\|^2\) (using its transformation rule under the action of the conformal group) and classical Knapp-Stein intertwining operators. The construction relies ultimately on two main identities stated in Theorem 3.2 and Theorem 3.3, the second being the Euclidean Fourier transform of the first one.
