Heat-Kernel Asymptotics of Locally Symmetric Spaces of Rank One and Chern-Simons Invariants

Abstract

The asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel associated with Laplace operators is considered for general irreducible rank one locally symmetric spaces. Invariants of the Chern-Simons theory of irreducible U(n)- flat connections on real compact hyperbolic 3-manifolds are derived
