Twistor spaces and the general adiabatic expansions (Q2461227)

The author investigates the behavior of derivatives of the fundamental solution of a parabolic equation for the square of the Dirac operator on a twistor space in the case when the metric is blown-up in the base space direction. Such a blowing-up operation is expected to be an effective method for extracting some intrinsic values from various geometric invariants, most of whose cores consist of some derivatives of the fundamental solution.
