1. Introduction In the one-dimensional case, the problem of classification of SL 2 -invariant (bi)linear differential operators was treated in the classical literature. Consider the following action of SLð2;RÞon the space of (smooth) functions in 1 one variable, for instance, onR;S, or holomorphic functions on the upper half- plane:   axþb 2l fðxÞ 7 !fðcxþdÞ;ð1:1Þ cxþd

wherelis a parameterl2R(orC). This SLð2;RÞ-module of functions is called the space ofl-densities and denotedF l . The classification of SLð2;RÞ-invariant linear differential operators fromF l toF m (i.e. of the operators commuting with the action (1.1)) was obtained in classical works on projective differential geometry, namely, for everyk¼1;2;. . .;there exists a unique (up to a constant) SLð2;RÞ-invariant linear differential operator of orderk:
