Invariant differential operators on the tangent space of some symmetric spaces

Thierry Levasseur, J. Toby Stafford (1999)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Let 𝔤 be a complex, semisimple Lie algebra, with an involutive automorphism ϑ and set 𝔨 = Ker ( ϑ - I ) , 𝔭 = Ker ( ϑ + I ) . We consider the differential operators, 𝒟 ( 𝔭 ) K , on 𝔭 that are invariant under the action of the adjoint group K of 𝔨 . Write τ : 𝔨 Der 𝒪 ( 𝔭 ) for the differential of this action. Then we prove, for the class of symmetric pairs ( 𝔤 , 𝔨 ) considered by Sekiguchi, that d 𝒟 ( 𝔭 ) : d 𝒪 ( 𝔭 ) K = 0 = 𝒟 ( 𝔭 ) τ ( 𝔨 ) . An immediate consequence of this equality is the following result of Sekiguchi: Let ( 𝔤 0 , 𝔨 0 ) be a real form of one of these symmetric pairs ( 𝔤 , 𝔨 ) , and suppose that T is a K 0 -invariant...
