MiS Preprint Repository

We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Supertrace divergence terms for the Witten Laplacian

Peter B. Gilkey, Klaus Kirsten and Dmitri Vassilevich

Abstract

We use invariance theory to compute the divergence term $a_{m+2,m}^{d+\delta}$ in the super trace for the twisted de Rham complex for a closed Riemannian manifold.
