Constructing the Hodge Laplacian from the Laplace-Beltrami one

234 Views Asked by At

I know, in principle, how to construct the Hodge Laplacian with the aid of the Hodge star. Is it possible, though, to construct it only from the Laplace-Beltrami operator? I have already found a way, using the Bochner Laplacian and Weitzenböck's identity, is this the only one known?
