Let p t (x) be the (Gaussian) heat kernel on R n at time t. The classical Hermite polynomials at time t may be defined by a Rodriguez formula, given by H : (&x, t) p t (x)=:p t (x), where : is a constant coefficient differential operator on R n .

✦ Synopsis
Let M be a compact, connected, oriented Riemannian manifold. Hermite functions on M are defined in terms of the heat kernel, and the existence of an asymptotic expansion of these functions in powers of √ t is established for small time. In the case where M is a compact symmetric space, the asymptotic expansion of Hermite functions associated to "symmetrized" derivatives is shown to be greatly reduced, leaving an expansion in powers of t only.
