Using Fermionic calculus, we give a natural construction of an enlarged Hilbert space $\\mathscr{H}^{(n)}$ and an analytic semigroup $\\mathrm{e}^{-t (H^{(n)}+P^{(n)} )}$ thereon, such that $\\mathrm{e}^{-t (H^{(n)}+P^{(n)} )}$ composed from the left with (essentially) a Fermionic integration gives precisely the above iterated operator integral. This formula allows to establish important regularity results for the latter, and to derive a stochastic representation for it, in case $H$ is a covariant Laplacian and the $P_{j}$'s are first-order differential operators. Finally, with $H$ given as the square of the Dirac operator on a spin manifold, this representation is used to derive a stochastic refinement of the Duistermaat-Heckman localization formula on the loop space of a spin manifold.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-10-17T21:14:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "loop space", "fermionic dyson expansions", "stochastic duistermaat-heckman localization", "hilbert space", "spin manifold" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
