Heat trace asymptotics with transmittal boundary conditions and quantum brane-world scenario

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We study the spectral geometry of an operator of Laplace type on a manifold with a singular surface. We calculate several first coefficients of the heat kernel expansion. These coefficients are responsible for divergences and conformal anomaly in quantum brane-world scenario.
