Coherent Sheaves, Superconnections, and Riemann-Roch-Grothendieck

Coherent Sheaves, Superconnections, and Riemann-Roch-Grothendieck is an important contribution to both the geometric and analytic study of complex manifolds and, as such, it will be a valuable resource formany researchers in geometry, analysis, and mathematical physics.

Jean-Michel Bismut is a French mathematician who is a professor in the Mathematics Department in Orsay. He is known for his contributions to index theory, geometric analysis and probability theory. Together with Gilles Lebeau, he has developed the theory of the hypoelliptic Laplacian, to which he found applications in various fields of mathematics. He shared the Shaw Prize in Mathematical Sciences 2021 with Jeff Cheeger.
