Abstract: The Schur complement formula is a very simple formula in linear algebra. Yet it is very useful in spectral theory. I will introduce the Schur complement formula and talk about how to use it to prove a strong convergence of kinetic Brownian motion to the Laplace operator on locally symmetric spaces. This is joint work with Qiuyu Ren.
