Asymptotics and zeta functions on compact nilmanifolds (Q2668971)

The author obtains asymptotic formulae on nilmanifolds \(\Gamma\setminus G\) where \(G\) is any stratified nilpotent Lie group equipped with a co-compact discrete subgroup \(\Gamma\). He also studies the asymptotics related to the sub-Laplacians naturally coming from the stratified structure of the group \(G\). The author shows that the short-time asymptotic on the diagonal of the kernels of spectral multipliers contains only a single non-trivial term. The author also studies the associated zeta functions.
