Abstract:
We classify ternary differential operators over nn-dimensional manifolds. These operators act on the spaces of weighted densities and are invariant with respect to the Lie algebra of vector fields. For n=1n=1, some of these operators can be expressed in terms of the de Rham exterior differential, the Poisson bracket,
the Grozman operator, and the Feigin–Fuchs antisymmetric operators; four of the operators are new up to dualizations and permutations. For n>1n>1, we list multidimensional conformal tranvectors, i.e., operators acting on the spaces of weighted densities and invariant with respect to o(p+1,q+1), where p+q=n. With
the exception of the scalar operator, these conformally invariant operators are not invariant with respect to the whole Lie algebra of vector fields.
Keywords:
