[BOOK][B] Projective differential geometry old and new: from the Schwarzian derivative to the cohomology of diffeomorphism groups

V Ovsienko, S Tabachnikov - 2004 - books.google.com
Ideas of projective geometry keep reappearing in seemingly unrelated fields of mathematics.
The authors' main goal in this 2005 book is to emphasize connections between classical …

Differential operators on supercircle: conformally equivariant quantization and symbol calculus

H Gargoubi, N Mellouli, V Ovsienko - Letters in Mathematical Physics, 2007 - Springer
We consider the supercircle S 1| 1 equipped with the standard contact structure. The Lie
superalgebra K (1) of contact vector fields contains the Möbius superalgebra osp (1| 2). We …

Tractors, mass, and Weyl invariance

AR Gover, A Shaukat, A Waldron - Nuclear Physics B, 2009 - Elsevier
Deser and Nepomechie established a relationship between masslessness and rigid
conformal invariance by coupling to a background metric and demanding local Weyl …

Weyl invariance and the origins of mass

AR Gover, A Shaukat, A Waldron - Physics Letters B, 2009 - Elsevier
By a uniform and simple Weyl invariant coupling of scale and matter fields, we construct
theories that unify massless, massive, and partially massless excitations. Masses are related …

Higher symmetries of the conformal powers of the Laplacian on conformally flat manifolds

A Gover, J Šilhan - Journal of mathematical physics, 2012 - pubs.aip.org
On locally conformally flat manifolds, we describe a construction which maps generalised
conformal Killing tensors to differential operators which may act on any conformally …

Higher symmetries of the Laplacian via quantization

JP Michel - Annales de l'Institut Fourier, 2014 - numdam.org
We develop a new approach, based on quantization methods, to study higher symmetries of
invariant differential operators. We focus here on conformally invariant powers of the …

Generalized transvectants-Rankin–Cohen brackets

V Ovsienko, P Redou - Letters in Mathematical Physics, 2003 - Springer
We introduce o (p+ 1 q+ 1)-invariant bilinear differential operators on the space of tensor
densities on R n generalizing the well-known bilinear sl 2-invariant differential operators in …

Towards projectively equivariant quantization

PBA Lecomte - Progress of Theoretical Physics Supplement, 2001 - academic.oup.com
In this paper, we define a natural generalization of the notion of projectively equivariant
quantization on a flat space to arbitrary manifolds equipped with arbitrary projective …
