Hypoelliptic Laplacian and Orbital Integrals (AM-177) / / Jean-Michel Bismut.

This book uses the hypoelliptic Laplacian to evaluate semisimple orbital integrals in a formalism that unifies index theory and the trace formula. The hypoelliptic Laplacian is a family of operators that is supposed to interpolate between the ordinary Laplacian and the geodesic flow. It is essential...
