In this paper, an explicit expression is obtained for the conformally invariant higher spin Laplace operator $\mathcal{D}_λ$, which acts on functions taking values in an arbitrary (finite-dimensional) irreducible representation for the orthogonal group with integer valued highest weight. Once an explicit expression is obtained, a special kind of (polynomial) solutions of this operator is determined.
In this paper we work in the `split' discrete Clifford analysis setting, i.e. the m-dimensional function theory concerning null-functions, defined on the grid Z^m, of the discrete Dirac operator D, involving both forward and backward differences, which factorizes the (discrete) Star-Laplacian (Delta = D^2). We show how the space M_k of discrete homogeneous spherical monogenics of degree k, is decomposable into 2^{2m-n} isomorphic irreducible representations with highest weight (k + 1/2, 1/2,...,1/2) in the odd-dimensional case and two times 2^{2m-n} isomorphic irreducible representations with highest weight (k)'_+ = (k + 1/2, 1/2,...,1/2,1/2) resp. (k)'_- = (k + 1/2, 1/2,...,1/2,-1/2) in the even dimensional case.
