The paper computes a residue density for a specific Laplacian on compact manifolds.

The paper computes metrics and Einstein tensors on even-dimensional manifolds.

We give an explicit geometric formula for the twisted orbital integrals using the method of the hypoelliptic Laplacian developed by Bismut. Combining with the twisted trace formula, we can evaluate the equivariant trace of the heat operators of the Laplacians on a compact locally symmetric space. In particular, we revi…

Bismut Einstein metrics on complex manifolds are Kähler Einstein or Bismut Ricci flat.

Proves an equivariant version of index theorem for geometric families.

About 15 years ago, Bismut gave a natural construction of a Hodge theory for a hypoelliptic Laplacian acting on the total space of the cotangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold. This operator interpolates between the classical elliptic Laplacian on the base and the generator of the geodesic flow. We will describe recen…

Paper generalizes spectral flow formulas for compact Lie group actions.

In this paper, we define the equivariant eta form of Bismut-Cheeger for a compact Lie group and establish a formula about the functoriality of equivariant eta forms with respect to the composition of two submersions.

In this paper, we prove equivariant Morse inequalities via Bismut-Lebeau's analytic localization techniques. As an application, we obtain Morse inequalities on compact manifold with nonempty boundary by applying equivariant Morse inequalities to the doubling manifold.

We give a new and detailed proof of the variation formulas for the equivariant Ray-Singer metric, which are originally due to J.M. Bismut and W. Zhang.

We define exotic twisted $S^1$-equivariant cohomology for the loop space $LZ$ of a smooth manifold $Z$ via the invariant differential forms on $LZ$ with coefficients in the (typically non-flat) holonomy line bundle of a gerbe, with differential an equivariantly flat superconnection. We introduce the twisted Bismut-Cher…

In this paper, we provide a concrete interpretation of equivariant Reidemeister torsion and demonstrate that Bismut-Zhang's equivariant Cheeger-Müller theorem simplifies considerably when applied to locally symmetric spaces. In a companion paper, this allows us to extend recent results on torsion cohomology growth and …

In 1993, Bismut and Zhang establish a mod Z embedding formula of Atiyah-Patodi-Singer reduced eta invariants. In this paper, we explain the hidden mod Z term as a spectral flow and extend this embedding formula to the equivariant family case. In this case, the spectral flow is generalized to the equivariant chern chara…

In this paper, using the Greiner's approach to heat kernel asymptotics, we give new proofs of the equivariant Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula and the variation formulas for the equivariant Ray-Singer metric, which are originally due to J. M. Bismut and W. Zhang.

In this paper, we compute the first two equivariant heat kernel coefficients of the Bochner Laplacian on differential forms. The first two equivariant heat kernel coefficients of the Bochner Laplacian with torsion are also given. We also study the equivariant heat kernel coefficients of nonmininmal operators on differe…

Wave trace singularity formula for fibre bundles generalizes Poisson summation.

In this paper, for a compact Lie group action,we prove the anomaly formula and the functoriality of the equivariant Bismut-Cheeger eta forms with perturbation operators when the equivariant family index vanishes. In order to prove them, we extend the Melrose-Piazza spectral section and its main properties to the equiva…

Proves subelliptic estimates for geometric Kramers-Fokker-Planck operators on closed manifolds.

Assume that the circle group acts holomorphically on a compact Kähler manifold with isolated fixed points and that the action can be lifted holomorphically to a holomorphic Hermitian vector bundle. We give a heat kernel proof of the equivariant holomorphic Morse inequalities. We use some techniques developed by Bismut …

We show that the universal odd Chern form, defined on the stable unitary group $U$, extends to the loop group $LU$ in a way that is closed with respect to an equivariant-type differential. This provides an odd analogue to the Bismut-Chern form. We also describe the associated transgression form, the so-called Bismut-Ch…

Given a compact manifold $M$ and $g\in C^{\infty}(M,U(l;\mathbb{C}))$ we construct a Chern character $\mathrm{Ch}^-(g)$ which lives in the odd part of the equivariant (entire) cyclic Chen-normalized bar complex $\underline{\mathscr{C}}(Ω_{\mathbb{T}}(M\times \mathbb{T}))$ of $M$, and which is mapped to the odd Bismut-C…

In this paper an analytic proof of a generalization of a theorem of Bismut ([Bis1, Theorem 5.1]) is given, which says that, when $v$ is a transversal holomorphic vector field on a compact complex manifold $X$ with a zero point set $Y$, the embedding $j:Y\to X$ induces a natural isomorphism between the holomorphic equiv…

The paper studies heat kernel asymptotics for Kohn Laplacians on CR manifolds.

Given a smooth compact manifold with boundary, we show that the subcomplex of the deformed de Rham complex consisting of eigenspaces of small eigenvalues of the Witten Laplacian is canonically isomorphic to the Thom-Smale complex constructed by Laudenbach. Our proof is based on Bismut-Lebeau's analytic localization tec…

We construct Dirac operators on foliations by applying the Bismut-Lebeau analytic localization technique to the Connes fibration over a foliation. The Laplacian of the resulting Dirac operators has better lower bound than that obtained by using the usual adiabatic limit arguments on the original foliation. As a consequ…

We consider an equivariant analogue of a conjecture of Borcherds. Let $Y$ be a real $K3$ surface without real points. Let $g$ be a Ricci-flat Kaehler metric on $Y$ invariant under the complex conjugation. We shall prove that the equivariant determinant of the Laplacian of $(Y,g)$ with respect to the complex conjugation…

Formula for analytic torsion forms in fibrations by projective curves.

We study the near diagonal asymptotic expansion of the generalized Bergman kernel of the renormalized Bochner-Laplacian on high tensor powers of a positive line bundle over a compact symplectic manifold. We show how to compute the coefficients of the expansion by recurrence and give a closed formula for the first two o…

Localization reveals geometric and analytic properties of the Witten genus.

This paper generalizes Bismut's equivariant Chern character to the setting of abelian gerbes. In particular, associated to an abelian gerbe with connection, an equivariantly closed differential form is constructed on the space of maps of a torus into the manifold. These constructions are made explicit using a new local…

This is the second of a series of papers dealing with an analog in Arakelov geometry of the holomorphic Lefschetz fixed point formula. We use the main result of the first paper to prove a residue formula "`a la Bott" for arithmetic characteristic classes living on arithmetic varieties acted upon by a diagonalisable tor…

This paper constructs a Hodge theory of noncompact topologically tame manifolds $M$. The main result is an isomorphism between the de Rham cohomology with compact supports of $M$ and the kernel of the Hodge--Witten--Bismut Laplacian $\lap_μ$ associated to a measure $dμ$ which has sufficiently rapid growth at infinity o…

We generalize the Novikov inequalities for 1-forms in two different directions: first, we allow non-isolated critical points (assuming that they are non-degenerate in the sense of R.Bott), and, secondly, we strengthen the inequalities by means of twisting by an arbitrary flat bundle. We also obtain an $L^2$ version of …
