This paper deals with homogeneous monogenic polynomials of degree \(k\), which are just the spherical monogenics of degree \(k\) denoted by \({\mathcal M}_k\).
As the key operator the Rarita-Schwinger operator is introduced which act in \({\mathcal M}_k\). This operator is one of the components of a decomposition of the Dirac operator. By the help of the Fischer inner product \((\cdot,\cdot)_u\) on the boundary of a \(C^\infty\)-submanifold-with-boundary \(\overline\Omega\) in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) the space \(L_2(\partial\Omega|{\mathcal M}_k)\) is defined by the \(\mathbb{C}_n\)-inner product \[ \langle f,g\rangle_{\partial\Omega}= \int_{\partial\Omega} (f(x,u), g(x,u))_u ds(x). \] The fundamental solution of \(R_k(\partial_x)\) is constructed basing on the reproducing kernel \(K_k(u,v)\) for inner spherical monogenics of degree \(k\). The following factorization is obtained \[ R_k(\partial_x) D_{2k+1}= \Delta^{k+1} \] with a differential operator of order \(2k+1\), which can be calculated. Basic integral relations (Stokes theorem, Cauchy-Pompeiu theorem, Cauchy integral formula) are deduced. It is proved that with \(R_k(\Omega):=\text{ker} R_k(\partial_x)\) the corresponding Cauchy transform \(C_k\) maps \(C^\infty(\partial\Omega)\) onto \(R^\infty_K(\Omega):=R_K(\Omega)\cap C^\infty(\overline\Omega)\). Several decompositions of \(L_2(\partial\Omega,{\mathcal M}_K)\) are studied, Kerzman-Stein formulae are considered. Finally, the self-adjointness of the Cauchy transform is geometric characterized. This paper is clearly written and important in this field.
