Letting these operators act on the space of exponential-polynomial functions that depend on a parametric vector a, we prove that the space forms an irreducible o(n+2)-module for any constant c if the vector a is not on a certain hypersurface. By partially swapping differential operators and multiplication operators, we obtain more general differential operator representations of o(n+2) on the polynomial algebra C in n variables. Moreover, we prove that the algebra C forms an infinite-dimensional irreducible weight o(n+2)-module with finite-dimensional weight subspaces if the constant c is not a half integer.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-03-29T01:18:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "17B10" ], "keywords": [ "orthogonal lie algebra", "conformal oscillator representations", "general differential operator representations", "inhomogeneous first-order differential operator representations", "finite-dimensional weight subspaces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1403.7576X" } } }
