Mean-value type property for eigenfunctions of Casimir operator on $\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$

The purpose of this post is to ask for the community's opinion on a conjecture about a certain mean-value property for functions on $\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$. This conjecture appears at the ...

Differential equation involving Casimir operator on $\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$

Throughout this post, we let $G$ denote the Lie group $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$. For $t,\theta \in \mathbb{R}$ we define the following elements of $G$: \begin{align*} A(t) &= \begin{bmatrix}e^t &...

Germs of left invariant differential operators on a group

Are there germs at the identity of linear differential operators on a group which are not germs at the identity of left invariant differential operators? I feel like the answer is no but the statement ...

Differential operators on a compact Lie group associated to bracket-generating sets

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group of dimension $m$ with Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$. Let $\{X_1,\dots,X_h\}$ be a linearly independent set of $\mathfrak g$. Assume that $\{X_1,\dots,X_h\}$ is ...

Universal enveloping algebra and the algebra of invariant differential operators

Let $G$ be a Lie group and $\mathfrak{g}$ be its Lie algebra. Then $\mathfrak{g}$ may be interpreted as the Lie algebra of right (equivalently left) invariant vector fields. Let $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{...

Diffeomorphisms on a real manifold whose derivative are holomorphic maps on the tangent bundle

Edit: According to the answers to the linked MSE question and the comment of Holonomia, I understand that the answer to the second question is that " Every tangent bundles is a complex ...

Spin equivariance of the Dirac operator-flat case

This question was posed on Math.SE but no one has answered it; it may be suitable for MathOverflow. Let $D$ be the Dirac operator on $\mathbb{R}^n$ i.e. $D=\sum_{j=1}^nE_j\frac{\partial}{\partial ...

Ring of SO(n)-invariant differential operators on M_n,m

I'm reading through Stephen Gelbart's paper "A Theory of Stiefel Harmonics." (http://www.ams.org/journals/tran/1974-192-00/S0002-9947-1974-0425519-8/). There comes a point in the paper (Lemma 2.8) ...

A Generalized De Rham cohomology

Edit According to the comment of Alex Degtyarev, I deleted the last part of the previous version. Let $E$ be a real vector space. The complex valued $k$- tensors on $E$ is denoted by $L_{\mathbb{C}}^{...

Euler number of the complex of basic forms

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group and $\pi:P \to M$ a principal $G$-bundle. I would like to understand the geometry of $M$ through $P$ with the $G$-action. I am trying to understand the Hopf bundle ($G=...
