A short proof for Rankin--Cohen brackets and generating operators

Abstract

Motivated by the concept of "generating operators" for a countable family of operators introduced in the recent paper (arXiv:2306.16800), we find a method to reconstruct the Rankin--Cohen brackets from a very simple multivariable contour integral, and obtain a new proof of their covariance. We also establish a closed formula of the "generating operator" for the Rankin--Cohen brackets in full generality.
