Gaveau

Gaveau refers to a family of mathematical functions and operators developed by Laurent Gaveau, primarily used in geometric analysis and differential geometry. They help analyze how certain properties, like heat diffusion or wave behavior, behave on complex geometric spaces, especially those that aren’t flat like regular Euclidean space. By studying Gaveau’s functions, mathematicians can better understand the structure and curvature of these spaces, leading to insights in physics, quantum mechanics, and geometric analysis. Essentially, Gaveau’s work provides tools to explore how geometry influences processes such as heat flow and wave propagation on curved or abstract spaces.
