Abstract

We give a complete classification of conformally covariant differential operators between the spaces of differential ii-forms on the sphere SnS^n and jj-forms on the totally geodesic hypersphere Sn1S^{n-1} by analyzing the restriction of principal series representations of the Lie group O(n+1,1)O(n+1,1). Further, we provide explicit formul\ae{} for these matrix-valued operators in the flat coordinates and find factorization identities for them.
