Vector bundles on surfaces and higher-dimensional varieties, and their moduli (14J60) Laplace operator, Helmholtz equation (reduced wave equation), Poisson equation (35J05) Elliptic genera (58J26)

Abstract: On locally conformally flat manifolds we describe a construction which maps generalised conformal Killing tensors to differential operators which may act on any conformally weighted tensor bundle; the operators in the range have the property that they are symmetries of any natural conformally invariant differential operator between such bundles. These are used to construct all symmetries of the conformally invariant powers of the Laplacian (often called the GJMS operators) on manifolds of dimension at least 3. In particular this yields all symmetries of the powers of the Laplacian $Delt{a}^k$, $kinmathbbZ>0$, on Euclidean space $mathbb{E}^n$. The algebra formed by the symmetry operators is described explicitly.
