About small eigenvalues of the Witten Laplacian

Laurent Michel

Vol. 1 (2019), No. 2, 149–206
Abstract

We study the low-lying eigenvalues of the semiclassical Witten Laplacian associated to a Morse function ϕ. Compared to previous works we allow general distributions of critical values of ϕ, for instance allowing all the local minima to be absolute. The motivation comes from metastable dynamics described by the Kramers–Smoluchowski equation.
