Abstract: Let $M$ be a compact smooth manifold equipped with a positive smooth density $mu$ and $H$ be a smooth distribution endowed with a fiberwise inner product $g$. We define the Laplacian $Delt{a}_H$ associated with $(H,mu,g)$ and prove that it gives rise to an unbounded self-adjoint operator in $L^2(M,mu)$. Then, assuming that $H$ generates a singular foliation $mathcalF$, we prove that, for any function $varphi$ from the Schwartz space $mathcalS(mathbbR)$, the operator $varphi(Delt{a}_H)$ is a smoothing operator in the scale of longitudinal Sobolev spaces associated with $mathcalF$. The proofs are based on pseudodifferential calculus on singular foliations developed by Androulidakis and Skandalis and subelliptic estimates for $Delt{a}_H$.
