Abstract

Bol operators (Bols for short) are differential operators invariant under the projective action of pgl(2)sl(2)\mathfrak{pgl}(2)\simeq\mathfrak{sl}(2) between spaces of weighted densities on the 1-dimensional manifold. Here, we described analogs of Bols: pgl(a+1b)\mathfrak{pgl}(a+1\vert b)-invariant differential operators between spaces of tensor fields on (ab)(a\vert b)-dimensional supermanifolds with irreducible, as gl(ab)\mathfrak{gl}(a\vert b)-modules, fibers of arbitrary, even infinite, dimension for certain ``key" values of aa and bb -- the ones for which the solution is describable. We discovered many new operators for (ab)=(20),(03)(a|b)=(2|0), (0|3) and for the case of 111\vert 1-dimensional general superstring which looks like a~most natural superization of Bol's result, additional to the cases of super analogs of Bols between spaces of weighted densities on the 1n1\vert n-dimensional superstrings with a~contact structure we classified in arXiv:2110.10504. In the case of fibers of dimension >1>1, there are (a+b1)(a+b-1)-parameter families of Bols, whereas there are no non-scalar non-zero differential operators between spaces of weighted densities. These two extreme answers justify the selection of cases here.
