Conformally covariant bi-differential operators for differential forms

Representation Theory 2019-05-22 v1 Differential Geometry

Abstract

The classical Rankin-Cohen brackets are bi-differential operators from C(R)×C(R)C^\infty(\mathbb R)\times C^\infty(\mathbb R) into C(R) C^\infty(\mathbb R). They are covariant for the (diagonal) action of SL(2,R){\rm SL}(2,\mathbb R) through principal series representations. We construct generalizations of these operators, replacing R\mathbb R by Rn,\mathbb R^n, the group SL(2,R){\rm SL}(2,\mathbb R) by the group SO0(1,n+1){\rm SO}_0(1,n+1) viewed as the conformal group of Rn,\mathbb R^n, and functions by differential forms.
