In the present article, we combine some techniques in harmonic analysis together with the geometric approach given by modules over sheaves of rings of twisted differential operators ( $$ \mathcal{D} $$ -modules), and reformulate the composition series and branching problems for objects in the Bernstein–Gelfand–Gelfand parabolic category $$ {\mathcal{O}}^{\mathfrak{p}} $$ geometrically realized on certain orbits in the generalized flag manifolds. The general framework is then applied to the scalar generalized Verma modules supported on the closed Schubert cell of the generalized flag manifold G / P for G = SL(n + 2, ℂ) and P the Heisenberg parabolic subgroup; and algebraic analysis gives a complete classification of $$ {\mathfrak{g}}_r^{\prime } $$ -singular vectors for all $$ {\mathfrak{g}}_r^{\prime }=\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}\left(n-r+2,\mathbb{C}\right)\kern1em \subset \mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}\left(n+2,\mathbb{C}\right),n-r>21 $$ . A consequence of our results is that we classify SL(n − r + 2, ℂ) -covariant differential operators acting on homogeneous line bundles over the complexification of the odd-dimensional CR-sphere S 2n+1 and valued in homogeneous vector bundles over the complexification of the CR-subspheres S 2(n-r)+1.
