Adiabatic Limits and the Spectrum of the Laplacian on Foliated Manifolds

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Trends in Mathematics ((TM))

Abstract

We present some recent results on the behavior of the spectrum of the differential form Laplacian on a Riemannian foliated manifold when the metric on the ambient manifold is blown up in directions normal to the leaves (in the adiabatic limit).
