Abstract:

Let $(X,h)$ be a compact and irreducible Hermitian complex space of complex dimension $v>1$. In this paper we show that the Friedrichs extension of both the Laplace–Beltrami operator and the Hodge–Kodaira Laplacian acting on functions has discrete spectrum. Moreover, we provide some estimates for the growth of the corresponding eigenvalues, and we use these estimates to deduce that the associated heat operators are trace class. Finally we give various applications to the Hodge–Dolbeault operator and to the Hodge–Kodaira Laplacian in the setting of Hermitian complex spaces of complex dimension $2$.
