For any finite simplicial complex K, one can define Laplace operators ∆i which are combinatorial analogues of the Laplace operators on differential forms for a Riemannian manifold. The definition (as in [6, 7]) is as follows. Let Ci be the R-vector space of (oriented) simplicial i-chains in K with real coefficients, and ∂i : Ci → Ci−1 the usual simplicial boundary map. Endow Ci with an inner product by declaring the oriented simplices to form an orthonormal basis of Ci, so that we may identify Ci with its dual C∗ i . The adjoint to ∂i with respect to this inner product is the transpose ∂ i or the coboundary map δi−1 : Ci−1 → Ci. Define ∆i : Ci → Ci by ∆i = δi−1∂i + ∂i+1δi.
