Spectrum of the Witten Laplacian on compact Riemannian manifolds

Below I have given what I am calling as the ${\rm Witten{-}Laplacian}_{s,p}$ on a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ for any constant $s >0$ and $p \in C^2(M,g)$ How generally is it true that this ${\rm ...

The spectrum of the Hodge Laplacian on a Riemannian manifold

The Hodge Laplacian operator on differential forms on a (compact?) Riemannian manifold carries useful information about the topology of the manifold. In particular, the multiplicity of the zero ...

An alternative representation of the principal symbol of the Laplace operator

Assume that $(M,g)$ is a $n$ dimensional Riemannian manifold. We denote by $\Delta$, the Laplacian associated to this Riemannian structure. Are the following two conditions equivalent? First condition ...
