Heat Kernels and Dirac Operators (Grundlehren Text Editions) (Die Grundlehren der Mathematischen Wissenschaften, Vol 298) (NATO Asi Series. Series F, Computer and Systems Sciences, #298)

by Nicole Berline, Ezra Getzler, and Michele Vergne

In the first edition of this book, simple proofs of the Atiyah-Singer Index Theorem for Dirac operators on compact Riemannian manifolds and its generalizations (due to the authors and J.-M. Bismut) were presented, using an explicit geometric construction of the heat kernel of a generalized Dirac operator; the new edition makes this popular book available to students and researchers in an attractive paperback.
