Heat kernel for higher-order differential operators in Euclidean space
Abstract
We consider heat kernel for higher-order operators with constant coefficients in -dimensio\-nal Euclidean space and its asymptotic behavior. For arbitrary operators which are invariant with respect to -rotations we obtain exact analytical expressions for the heat kernel and Green functions in the form of infinite series in Fox--Wright psi functions and Fox -functions. We investigate integro-differential relations and the asymptotic behavior of the functions , in terms of which the heat kernel of -invariant operators are expressed. It is shown that the obtained expressions are well defined for non-integer values of space dimension , as well as for operators of non-integer order. Possible applications of the obtained results in quantum field theory and the connection with fractional calculus are discussed.
