Convergence of Riemannian manifolds and Laplace operators. I
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 52 (2002) no. 4, pp. 1219-1257.

We study the spectral convergence of compact Riemannian manifolds in relation with the Gromov-Hausdorff distance and discuss the geodesic distances and the energy forms of the limit spaces.

Nous étudions la convergence spectrale des variétés riemanniennes compactes par rapport à la distance de Gromov-Hausdorff et discutons des distances géodésiques et des formes d'énergie des espaces de limites.
