Theta operator
In mathematics, the theta operator is a differential operator defined by[1][2]
This is sometimes also called the homogeneity operator, because its eigenfunctions are the monomials in z:
In n variables the homogeneity operator is given by
As in one variable, the eigenspaces of θ are the spaces of homogeneous polynomials.
