Abstract
Motivated by the classical ideas of generating functions for orthogonal polynomials, we investigate “generating operators” for a family of differential operators between two manifolds. A formula for such generating operators associated with Rankin–Cohen brackets will be presented and a connection with infinite-dimensional representation theory will be explained. This is a joint work with T. Kobayashi.
