"To see this in action, see the book of Berline, Getzler, and Vergne" :) As I recall, however, one needs to do a little bit better than just the existence of an asymptotic expansion for the heat kernel - one also needs the expansion to be compatible with Clifford degree in an appropriate sense. I've always found that aspect of the analysis to be very subtle. | |
