This is a mini-review of the heat kernel expansion for generalized Laplacians on various noncommutative spaces. Applications to the spectral action principle, renormalization of noncommutative theories and anomalies are also considered.
To any spectral triple (A,D,H) a dimension d is associated, in analogy with the Hausdorff dimension for metric spaces. Indeed d is the unique number, if any, such that |D|^-d has non trivial logarithmic Dixmier trace. Moreover, when d is…
We introduce a class of non-commutative, complex, infinite-dimensional Heisenberg like Lie groups based on an abstract Wiener space. The holomorphic functions which are also square integrable with respect to a heat kernel measure $\mu$ on…
For an elliptic differential operator $D$ of order $h$ in $n$ dimensions, the spectral $\zeta$-function $\zeta_D(s)$ for $\Re s > \frac{n}{h}$ can be evaluated as an integral over the heat kernel $e^{-t D}$. Here, alternative expressions…

The heat kernel or Bargmann-Segal transform on a noncompact Riemannian symmetric space X=G/K maps a square integrable function on X to a holomorphic function on the complex crown. In this article we determine the range of this transform.
We establish a new formula for the heat kernel on regular trees in terms of classical I-Bessel functions. Although the formula is explicit, and a proof is given through direct computation, we also provide a conceptual viewpoint using the…
Spectral functions relevant in the context of quantum field theory under the influence of spherically symmetric external conditions are analysed. Examples comprise heat-kernels, determinants and spectral sums needed for the analysis of…
We derive a formula for the regularized trace of operators with compact spectrum which act on the space of square integrable functions on the quotient of a semisimple Liegroup of real rank one by a convex-cocompact subgroup. The sum of…
The study of spectral properties of natural geometric elliptic partial differential operators acting on smooth sections of vector bundles over Riemannian manifolds is a central theme in global analysis, differential geometry and…
We use the asymptotic expansion of the heat trace to express all residues of spectral zeta functions as regularized sums over the spectrum. The method extends to those spectral zeta functions that are localized by a bounded operator.
To a finite, connected, unoriented graph of Betti-number g>=2 and valencies >=3 we associate a finitely summable, commutative spectral triple (in the sense of Connes), whose induced zeta functions encode the graph. This gives another…
The heat kernel and quasinormal mode methods of computing 1-loop partition functions of spin $s$ fields on hyperbolic quotient spacetimes $\mathbb{H}^{3}/\mathbb{Z}$ are related via the Selberg zeta function. We extend that analysis to…
The goal of these lectures is to present the few fundamentals of noncommutative geometry looking around its spectral approach. Strongly motivated by physics, in particular by relativity and quantum mechanics, Chamseddine and Connes have…
We present the first example of the Selberg type zeta function for noncompact higher rank locally symmetric spaces. We study certain Selberg type zeta functions and Ruelle type zeta functions attached to the Hilbert modular group of a real…
In this paper, a spectral theorem is proved for self-adjoint cyclically compact partial integral operators in the space of functions with mixed norm, which is a Kaplansky--Hilbert module. The decomposition through eigenfunctions, integral…
This is the second in a series of two articles where we study various aspects of the spectral theory associated to families of hyperbolic Riemann surfaces obtained through elliptic degeneration. In the first article, we investigate the…
The paper is devoted to a local heat kernel, which is a special part of the standard heat kernel. Locality means that all considerations are produced in an open convex set of a smooth Riemannian manifold. We study such properties and…
