Abstract

We compute the full asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel Trace(exp(tD2))(\exp(-tD^2)) where DD is, assuming RH, the self-adjoint operator whose spectrum is formed of the imaginary parts of non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. The coefficients of the expansion are explicit expressions involving Bernoulli and Euler numbers. We relate the divergent terms with the heat kernel expansion of the Dirac square root of the prolate wave operator investigated in our joint work with Henri Moscovici.
