Jun 29, 2013 at 13:54	comment	added	Alireza Behtash		As I said, I want differential operators on $SU(N)$. I already have the differential operators on the coset space, which is a Grassmanian (thus Kahlarian)!
Jun 29, 2013 at 10:42	comment	added	José Figueroa-O'Farrill		But in your example what you have are differential operators on $\mathbb{C}P^1$ not on the the 3-sphere. So do you want differential operators on $SU(N)$ or on some other manifold on which $SU(N)$ acts transitively, e.g., $\mathbb{C}P^{N-1}$?
Jun 28, 2013 at 23:04	comment	added	Alireza Behtash		As you are a physicist, I give you the following example. Suppose you want to define topological charge operator on $CP^1$ manifold. To do so, one identifies the $R_{\pm}:=R_1\pm iR_2$ of the $SU(2)$ right rotations as some well-known operators in terms of derivatives wrt coordinates on any given patch of $CP^1$. Then $[R_{+},R_{-}]\Psi=n\Psi$ where $\Psi$ is a line section on the patch. (Take QHE example, and $n$ becomes the monopole charge and etc.). I'm looking for these generators on the $SU(N)$ manifold specially the case $N=4.$
