Abstract: We give a complete construction of the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand complex on real or complex projective space using minimal ingredients.

Review text

The article is related to differential calculus on real or complex projective space invariant with respect to projective transformations forming a semisimple Lie group. The Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand (BGG) complexes on \(\mathbb{RP}_n\) or \(\mathbb{CP}_n\) are complexes of vector bundles and differential operators between them the generalizing de Rham complex on \(\mathbb{RP}_n\) and the holomorphic de Rham complex on \(\mathbb{CP}_n\) respectively. Here, employing the projective invariance, the authors derive explicit formulae for the operators in the projective BGG complex on \(\mathbb{RP}_n\) in terms of the usual round metric on the sphere \(S^n\) as its double cover.
