Rankin–Cohen brackets and representations of conformal Lie groups
This is an extended version of a lecture given by the author at the summer school “Quasimodular forms and applications” held in Besse in June 2010. The main purpose of this work is to present Rankin-Cohen brackets through the theory of unitary representations of conformal Lie groups and explain recent results on their analogues for Lie groups of higher rank. Various identities verified by such covariant bi-differential operators will be explained by the associativity of a non-commutative...
