The Bismut hypoelliptic Laplacian, a geometric version of the Kramers-Fokker-Planck operator, is a two-parameter-dependent operator: (the inverse of the friction parameter) and (the temperature). I will discuss the high-friction limit () and the low-temperature limit () for the hypoelliptic Laplacian. In this limit, the hypoelliptic Laplacian converges to the Witten Laplacian, with a comparison of their spectra.
