Abstract

Abstract : The aim of this paper is to study complete polynomial systems in the kernel space of conformally invariant differential operators in higher spin theory. We investigate the kernel space of a generalized Maxwell operator in 3‐dimensional space. With the already known decomposition of its homogeneous kernel space into 2 subspaces, we investigate first projections from the homogeneous kernel space to each subspace. Then, we provide complete polynomial systems depending on the given inner product for each subspace in the decomposition. More specifically, the complete polynomial system for the homogenous kernel space is an orthogonal system wrt a given Fischer inner product. In the case of the standard inner product in L 2 on the unit ball, the provided complete polynomial system for the homogeneous kernel space is a partially orthogonal system. Further, if the degree of homogeneity for the respective subspaces in the decomposed kernel spaces approaches infinity, then the angle between the 2 subspaces approaches π /2.
