This work is involved with the short-time asymptotics of
diffusion semigroups
in a general setting. A generalization
of Fang's version
of Varadhan's formula is proven for
general Dirichlet spaces that are local and conservative.
The intrinsic metric appearing in the formula is characterized
by pointwise distance for canonical Dirichlet spaces on loop groups.
