Generalized Verma modules
Let g be a complex simple Lie algebra, p its parabolic subgroup,g = p ⊕ n−, let g0 ⊂ p be the Levi factor of p and h the Cartansubalgebra. Consider Λ ∈ h∗ dominant and integral for p and letVΛ be the corresponding finite dimensional irreduciblerepresentation of p with highest weight Λ. Then the (generalized)Verma module MΛ is defined as
MΛ := U(g) ⊗U(p) VΛ.
It is a universal highest weight module with weight Λ. As a vectorspace, it is isomorphic to U(n−).Multiplicity of a weight space U(n−)λ is given by the Kostantpartition function.

Theorem
Let λ = (λ1, λ2, λ3) be a highest weight of the Verma module M(3)λ
for l3. Then it decomposes (as l2-module) for a generic weight as
M(3)λ =
∑
m,n∈N0
M(2)(λ1−m,λ2−n)
Indeed, α = (1,−1, 0), β = (0, 1,−1), γ = (1, 0,−1), henceλ − nβ − mγ = (λ1 − m, λ2 − n, ∗).

A simple computation implies that there is a singular vector ineach weight in boxes.Exceptional cases - individual Verma modules are included one inanotherWhen Mλ is not irreducible for l3, we can make a quotient with themaximal podmodule - it is possible to deduce the usual branchingrules for finite dimensional modules

The conformal case
The sphere Sn is a homogeneous space G/P, withG = G (n) = SO(n + 1, 1) and it contains the sphere Sn−1 given asa homogeneous space G/P with G = G (n−1).Let g(n) = so(n + 1, 1), g(n−1) = so(n, 1) with the standardembedding g(n−1) ⊂ g(n)
Let g(n) = gp(n) ⊕ n(n)− and the same in one dimension below.
Let {Y1, . . . ,Yn} a basis of n(n)− such that {Y1, . . . ,Yn−1} is a
basis of n(n−1)− .
Irreducible p(n)-modules are labeled by weights Λ = (λ1|λ2, . . . , λk)dominant integral for p.Let us split Λ as λ = (w , λ) with w ∈ R being the conformalweight and λ being a dominant integral weight for so(n).Similarly for Λ′ = (w ′, λ′) for dimension n − 1 instead of n.

Splitting operators
Splitting operators are particular types of invariant differentialoperators between irreducible and non-decomposable P-modules.Let V = Vλ be an irreducible G -module with the highest weightλ = (λ1, λ2, . . . , λk). It is a non-decomposable P-module and ithas a filtration by P-modules. The smallest element in thefiltration W is an irreducible P-module. The same is true for thefactor module W
′ of V by the biggest nontrivial P-submodule.So we have an invariant projection π of V onto W and an invariantembedding ι of W
′ into V. Let V , W and W ′ be the associatedhomogeneous bundles on G/P.Typical splitting operators:Dλ : Γ(W ) → Γ(Vλ), π ◦ Dλ = α id, α 6= 0,Eλ : Γ(Vλ) → Γ(W ′), Eλ ◦ ι = α id, α 6= 0.We can twist V by a one dimensional module R[w ].

Curved case
Manifolds with a given parabolic structure(G, ω), where G is P-principal bundle over M and ω is aCartan connection on Ginvariant differential operators on homogeneous models have,as a rule, curved analoguesExample Conformal case.manifold (M, [g ]) with conformal structure ≃fiber bundle G0 → M with the structure group G0 = CO(n)(resp. G0 = CSpin(n)) prolongation to (G, ω)construction of (families of) natural differential operatorsacting between bundles associated to G0-nodules, resp.P-modulesProblem: To construct curved analogues of the flat families ofinvariant differential operators discussed above.
