We evaluate one-loop partition functions of higher-spin fields in thermal flat space with angular potentials; this computation is performed in arbitrary space-time dimension, and the result is a simple combination of Poincar\'e characters.…

Curvature expansion for the heat kernel trace and the one-loop effective action is built for the wave operator of the theory in the quasi-thermal setup of a nonvacuum quantum state. This setup implies a non-static and non-stationary…

We construct a unitary, modular-invariant torus partition function of a two-dimensional conformal field theory with a Virasoro primary spectral gap of $\Delta_* = \frac{c-1}{12}$ above the vacuum. The twist gap is identical, apart from two…

We obtain sharp two-sided heat kernel estimates on spaces with varying dimension, in which two spaces of general dimension are connected at one point. On these spaces, if the dimensions of the two constituent parts are different, the volume…
