Let g be a nilpotent Lie algebra, t any subalgebra, G and K the simply connected Lie groups, and x E k any character. Then x (expY)= exp {2ai (fo, Y)} for Y E t, where fo E g* and folt is a Lie homomorphism. For z= ind (K t G, x) the authors in [8] and Lipsman in [24] gave an orbital description of the irreducible representations a E G appearing in z= Jf m (a) adp (a) and also their multiplicities m (a). It happens that m (a) z+ oo or else there is a finite bound m (a) 2 N pa. e. on G; we are concerned with the latter “finite multiplicity” case. We view z as a cocycle action in L2 (K\G) and study the algebra D,(K\G) of C” differential operators on K\G that commute with the operators zg, g E G, or equivalently with z (A), A in the enveloping algebra u (g). The first results on these invariant operators were obtained by Benoist (see [l]), who studied a very special situation: x= 1 and (g, e) a symmetric space-t={Xe g: a (X)= X} for some involutive automorphism CT of g. He showed that m (a)= 1 on spec (z)= supp (p), that D,(K\G) is commutative, and that D,(K\G) C [tLIK= the algebra of Ad* K-invariant polynomials on tL c g*. Commutativity is not so surprising when m (a)= 1, but evidence has accumulated that it can occur when the multiplicity is finite even if m (a)> 1 on a set of positive measure.
