Abstract

Let MM be an nn-dimensional manifold, VV the space of a representation ρ:GL(n)GL(V)\rho: GL(n)\longrightarrow GL(V). Locally, let T(V)T(V) be the space of sections of the tensor bundle with fiber VV over a sufficiently small open set UMU\subset M, in other words, T(V)T(V) is the space of tensor fields of type VV on MM on which the group \Diff(M)\Diff (M) of diffeomorphisms of MM naturally acts. Elsewhere, the author classified the \Diff(M)\Diff (M)-invariant differential operators D:T(V1)T(V2)T(V3)D: T(V_{1})\otimes T(V_{2})\longrightarrow T(V_{3}) for irreducible fibers with lowest weight. Here the result is generalized to bilinear operators invariant with respect to the group \Diffω(M)\Diff_{\omega}(M) of symplectomorphisms of the symplectic manifold (M,ω)(M, \omega). We classify all first order invariant operators; the list of other operators is conjectural. Among the new operators we mention a 2nd order one which determins an ``algebra'' structure on the space of metrics (symmetric forms) on MM.
