Spectral action and heat kernel trace for Ricci flat manifolds from stochastic flow over second quantized $L^2$-differential forms

A quantum stochastic differential equation (qsde) on Fock space over $L^2$ differential 1-forms is given from the small "time" flow of which the trace of the connection Laplacian heat kernel for the spinor endomorphism bundle can be computed over any compact Ricci-flat Riemannian manifold. The existence of the stochastic flow is established by adapting the construction from [14]. When the manifold supports a parallel spinor - Ricci-flatness is a required integrability condition for parallel spinors, the trace of Dirac Laplacian heat kernel of the spinor bundle can be recovered. For 4-manifolds, this corresponds to the spectral action, and realizes Einstein-Hilbert action as a stochastic flow.
