Spherical harmonics, operators of multiplication by coordinates, and infinitesimal conformal transformations
Consider the space of $C^\infty$-functions on the two-dimensional sphere $S^2$ and its decomposition $\oplus\mathcal H_n$ into a direct sum of minimal rotation-invariant spaces. We consider elements of $\oplus\mathcal H_n$ as functions of two variables, a nonnegative integer variable $n$ and a complex variable $u$ (a r...
