A System of Third-Order Differential Operators Conformally Invariant under $\mathfrak{sl}(3,\mathbb{C})$ and $\mathfrak{so}(8,\mathbb{C})$

Abstract

In earlier work, Barchini, Kable, and Zierau constructed a number of conformally invariant systems of differential operators associated to Heisenberg parabolic subalgebras in simple Lie algebras. The construction was systematic, but the existence of such a system was left open in two cases, namely, the $\Omega_3$ system for type $A_2$ and type $D_4$. Here, such a system is shown to exist for both cases. The construction of the system may also be interpreted as giving an explicit homomorphism between generalized Verma modules.
