Let $${H_\hbar = \hbar^{2}L +V}$$, where L is a self-adjoint Laplace type operator acting on sections of a vector bundle over a compact Riemannian manifold and V is a symmetric endomorphism field. We derive an asymptotic expansion for the heat kernel of $${H_\hbar}$$ as $${\hbar \searrow 0}$$. As a consequence we get an asymptotic expansion for the quantum partition function and we see that it is asymptotic to the classical partition function. Moreover, we show how to bound the quantum…
We consider the semiclassical asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel coming from Witten’s perturbation of the de Rham complex by a given function. For the index, one obtains a time-dependent
