Analysis of the Brylinski-Kostant model for spherical minimal representations

We revisit with another view point the construction by R. Brylinski and B. Kostant of minimal representations of simple Lie groups. We start from a pair $(V,Q)$, where $V$ is a complex vector space and $Q$ a homogeneous polynomial of degree 4 on $V$. The manifold $\mathrm{\Xi }$ is an orbit of a covering of ${\rm Conf}(V,Q)$,theconformalgroupofthepair$(V,Q)$, in a finite dimensional representation space. By a generalized Kantor-Koecher-Tits construction we obtain a complex simple Lie algebra $\text{goth}g$, and furthermore a real form ${\text{goth}g}_{\text{bboard}R}$. The connected and simply connected Lie group $G_{\text{bboard}R}$ with $\mathrm{L}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{e}(G_{\text{bboard}R})={\text{goth}g}_{\text{bboard}R}$ acts unitarily on a Hilbert space of holomorphic functions defined on the manifold $\mathrm{\Xi }$
