Download or read book The Heat Kernel Lefschetz Fixed Point Formula for the Spin-c Dirac Operator written by J.J. Duistermaat and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-07-08 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reprinted as it originally appeared in the 1990s, this work is as an affordable text that will be of interest to a range of researchers in geometric analysis and mathematical physics. The book covers a variety of concepts fundamental to the study and applications of the spin-c Dirac operator, making use of the heat kernels theory of Berline, Getzlet, and Vergne. True to the precision and clarity for which J.J. Duistermaat was so well known, the exposition is elegant and concise.
