Review text

The author considers the Lichnerowicz Laplacian \(\Delta_L\) on compact symmetric spaces and compact semisimple Lie groups. This Laplacian extends the Hodge-de Rham Laplacian on a Riemannian manifold to an operator \(\Delta_L:\Gamma(\bigotimes^pT^*M)\to\Gamma(\bigotimes^pT^*M)\). The main results are as follows. Theorem. Let \((G,K)\) be compact symmetric pair. Then \(\Delta_L=\Omega_{(G,K)}\), where \(\Omega_{(G,K)}\) is determined by the Casimir operator of \(Lie(G)\) and the \(G\) action on \(G/K\). Theorem. Let \(G\) be a compact semisimple Lie group. Then \(\Delta_L=\frac12(\Omega^++\Omega^-)\), where the \(\Omega^\pm\) are given by the Casimir operator of \(Lie(G)\) and the left and right regular actions of \(G\) on itself. In both statements, the Riemannian metric is the one determined by the Killing form.
