Multiplicity-free homogeneous operators in the Cowen-Douglas class

Abstract

In a recent paper, the authors have constructed a large class of operators in the Cowen-Douglas class Cowen-Douglas class of the unit disc $\mathbb D$ which are {\em homogeneous} with respect to the action of the group M\"{o}b -- the M\"{o}bius group consisting of bi-holomorphic automorphisms of the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$. The {\em associated representation} for each of these operators is {\em multiplicity free}. Here we give a different independent construction of all homogeneous operators in the Cowen-Douglas class with multiplicity free associated representation and verify that they are exactly the examples constructed previously.
