Laplace operators in deRham complexes associated with measures on configuration spaces (Q1400166): Difference between revisions

Consider the space \(\Gamma_X\) of locally finite configurations in a Riemannian manifold \(X\) with infinite volume. Suppose that \(\Gamma_X\) is endowed with a probability measure \(\mu\) satisfying a property called the generalized Mecke identity (it generalizes the case of Poisson measures), and consider the space \(L_\mu^2\Omega^n\) of differential \(n\)-forms over \(\Gamma_X\). Then the covariant derivative on \(\Gamma_X\) (which was defined in previous articles) enables to define the Bochner Laplacian on \(L_\mu^2\Omega^n\); a condition ensuring that the only square integrable Bochner-harmonic form is the zero form is given. The Hodge-deRham Laplacian is also defined, and a relation connecting the two Laplacians is proved. Finally, the case where \(\mu\) is a Gibbs measure is investigated.
