Abstract

The purpose of this article is to study the asymptotic expansion of Ray-Singer analytic tosion associated with increasing powers p of a given positive line bundle. Here we prove that the asymptotic expansion associated to a manifold contains only the terms of the form pnilogp,pnip^{n-i} \log p, p^{n-i} for ii-natural. For the two leading terms it was proved by Bismut and Vasserot in 1989. We will calculate the coefficients of the terms pn1logp,pn1p^{n-1} \log p, p^{n-1} in the Kahler case and thus answer the question posed in the recent work of Klevtsov, Ma, Marinescu and Wiegmann about quantuum Hall effect. Our second result concerns the general asymptotic expansion of Ray-Singer analytic torsion for an orbifold.
