Abstract

We study the behaviour of Laplace-type operators H on a complex vector bundle E \rightarrow M in the adiabatic limit of the base space. This space is a fibre bundle M \rightarrow B with compact fibres and the limit corresponds to blowing up directions perpendicular to the fibres by a factor 1/ϵ\epsilon. Under a gap condition on the fibre-wise eigenvalues we prove existence of effective operators that provide asymptotics to any order in ϵ\epsilon for H (with Dirichlet boundary conditions), on an appropriate almost-invariant subspace of L2{}^2(E).
