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=...

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 &...

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 ...

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) ...

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 ...
