Abstract:
The linear action of the group $SO(k,{\mathbf {C}})$ on the vector space ${{\mathbf {C}}^{n \times k}}$ extends to an action on the algebra of polynomials on ${{\mathbf {C}}^{n \times k}}$. The polynomials that are fixed under this action are called $SO(k,{\mathbf {C}})$-invariant. The $SO(k,{\mathbf {C}})$-harmonic polynomials are common solutions of the $SO(k,{\mathbf {C}})$-invariant differential operators. The ideal of all $SO(k,{\mathbf {C}})$-invariants without constant terms, the null cone of this ideal, and the orbits of $SO(k,{\mathbf {C}})$ on this null cone are studied in great detail. All irreducible holomorphic representations of $SO(k,{\mathbf {C}})$ are concretely realized on the space of $SO(k,{\mathbf {C}})$-harmonic polynomials.References
