Since the Wiener measure space was introduced by N. Wiener in 1923, a rigorous theory of path space integrals has been developed with many interesting applications to mathematics and mathematical physics. Especially, the Feynman-Kac formula was established by M. Kac and it was applied to several problems in the spectral theory of Schrodinger operators and potential theory. If we want to extend Kac's theory to curved Riemannian spaces, we need to make use of an important stochastic calculus on the Wiener space, that is, Ito's stochastic calculus. Indeed, such important notions as Brownian motions and stochastic moving frames on Riemannian manifolds can be constructed by solving Ito's stochastic differential equations. The main purpose of my lecture is to discuss this probabilistic approach by the Wiener functional integration to obtain short time asymptotics of traces (supertraces) of heat kernels. It is wellknown that many important problems in analysis, geometry and mathematical physics, such as asymptotics of eigenvalues of the Laplacian, index theorems, fixed point formulas, Morse inequalities for Morse functions, Poincare-Hopf index theorem for vector fields and so on are essentially related to this problem of estimating traces of heat kernels. The method of Wiener functional integration consists of first representing the heat kernels by integrals of
