In this thesis, we develop path integral localization methods that are familiar from topological field theory: the integral over the infinite dimensional integration domain depends only on local data around some finite dimensional…
In the context of supersymmetric quantum mechanics we formulate new supersymmetric localization principle, with application to trace formulas for a full thermal partition function. Unlike the standard localization principle, this new…
We review equivariant localization techniques for the evaluation of Feynman path integrals. We develop systematic geometric methods for studying the semi-classical properties of phase space path integrals for dynamical systems, emphasizing…
An important object of study in harmonic analysis is the heat equation. On a Euclidean space, the fundamental solution of the associated semigroup is known as the heat kernel, which is also the law of Brownian motion. Similar statements…
We derive estimates of the derivatives of the heat kernel on noncompact symmetric spaces and on locally symmetric spaces. Applying these estimates we study the $L^{p}$-boundedness of Littlewood-Paley-Stein operators and the Laplacian of the…
This article provides a geometric bridge between two entirely different character formulas for reductive Lie groups and answers the question posed by W.Schmid in [Sch]. A corresponding problem in the compact group setting was solved by…
By extending the new supersymmetric localization principle introduced in \cite{Choi:2021yuz}, we present a path integral derivation of the Selberg trace formula on arbitrary compact Riemann surfaces, including the case of arbitrary…
This paper proposes a general machine learning framework called the localization method, which is fundamentally built on two core concepts: localization kernels and local means -- key components that underpin the self-attention mechanism.…
We introduce renormalized integrals which generalize conventional measure theoretic integrals. One approximates the integration domain by measure spaces and defines the integral as the limit of integrals over the approximating spaces. This…
In the first part of this paper, we study the heat equation and the heat kernel associated with the Heckman-Opdam Laplacian in the compact, Weyl-group invariant setting. In particular, this Laplacian gives rise to a Feller-Markov semigroup…
In this note we apply heat kernels to derive some localization formula in sympletcic geometry, to study moduli spaces of flat connections on a Riemann surface, to obtain the push-forward measures for certain maps between Lie groups and to…
We consider a certain sequence of flat vector bundles on a compact locally symmetric orbifold, and we evaluate explicitly the associated asymptotic Ray-Singer real analytic torsion. The basic idea is to computing the heat trace via…
Let M be a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary and let H be a self-adjoint generalized Laplace operator acting on sections in a bundle over M. We give a path integral formula for the solution to the corresponding heat equation.…
We use heat kernels or eigenfunctions of the Laplacian to construct local coordinates on large classes of Euclidean domains and Riemannian manifolds (not necessarily smooth, e.g. with $\mathcal{C}^\alpha$ metric). These coordinates are…
We develop a new method for the calculation of the heat trace asymptotics of the Laplacian on symmetric spaces that is based on a representation of the heat semigroup in form of an average over the Lie group of isometries and obtain a…
Classical and non classical Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces with complete range of indices are developed in the general setting of Dirichlet space with a doubling measure and local scale-invariant Poincar\'e inequality. This leads to Heat…
In this article I describe my recent geometric localization argument dealing with actions of NONcompact groups which provides a geometric bridge between two entirely different character formulas for reductive Lie groups and answers the…
We consider Laplacians acting on sections of homogeneous vector bundles over symmetric spaces. By using an integral representation of the heat semi-group we find a formal solution for the heat kernel diagonal that gives a generating…
The path integral of a gauge theory is studied in Coulomb-like gauges. The Christ-Lee terms of operator ordering are reproduced {\it{within}} the path integration framework. In the presence of fermions, a new operator term, in addition to…
For a complex manifold $\Sigma $ with $\mathbb{C}^{\ast }$-action, we define the $m$-th $\mathbb{C}^{\ast }$ Fourier-Dolbeault cohomology group and consider the $m$-index on $\Sigma $. By applying the method of transversal heat kernel…
