Abstract:Given a compact boundaryless Riemannian manifold that admits a Riemannian foliation, recall that the space of leaf closures is a singular stratified space. Associated to this space is an operator called the basic Laplacian defined on the space of smooth functions that are constant on the leaves (and, hence, the closures of the leaves of the foliation). The corresponding basic spectrum is, under certain assumptions, an infinite subset of the spectrum of the ordinary laplacian. If the metric is bundle-like with respect to the foliation, the trace of the basic wave operator can be analyzed, and invariants of the basic spectrum can be computed. These invariants include the lengths of certain geodesic arcs which are orthogonal to the leaf closures, and from them, basic wave trace asymptotic expansions are derived. Using the connection between Riemannian foliations and manifolds being acted upon by a compact Lie group of isometries, $G$ , the wave trace for the $G$ -invariant spectrum of a $G$ -manifold is sketched out as a related result.
