We prove a bound on the heat trace of the Neumann Laplacian on a convex domain that captures the first two terms in its small-time expansion, but is valid for all times and depends on the underlying domain only through very simple geometric…

We establish sharp upper and lower bounds on the heat kernel of the fractional Laplace operator perturbed by Hardy-type drift by transferring it to appropriate weighted space with singular weight.

We construct the biharmonic heat kernel for a suitable self-adjoint extension of the bi-Laplacian on a manifold with incomplete edge singularities. We employ a microlocal description of the biharmonic heat kernel to establish mapping…

Let $L$ be a closed, densely defined operator of type $ \omega $ on $ L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ with $0 \leq \omega < \pi/2 $. We assume that $ L $ possesses a bounded $ H_\infty $-functional calculus and that its heat kernel satisfies suitable…

Correlation functions of most composite operators decay exponentially with time at non-zero temperature, even in free field theories. This insight was recently codified in an OTH (operator thermalisation hypothesis). We reconsider an early…

We establish the large-$N$ asymptotic expansion of the (central) trace of the heat kernel on any compact classical group $G_N\subset\mathrm{GL}_N(\mathbb{C})$, which extends a previous result known only for $\mathrm{U}(N)$ \cite{LM2}. It…

The SCHOK bound states that the number of marginal deformations of certain two-dimensional conformal field theories is bounded linearly from above by the number of relevant operators. In conformal field theories defined via sigma models…

We consider heat kernel for higher-order operators with constant coefficients in $d$-dimensio\-nal Euclidean space and its asymptotic behavior. For arbitrary operators which are invariant with respect to $O(d)$-rotations we obtain exact…

Following Osipov and Hiller, a generalized heat kernel expansion is considered for the effective action of bosonic operators. In this generalization, the standard heat kernel expansion, which counts inverse powers of a c-number mass…

We introduce renormalized integrals which generalize conventional measure theoretic integrals. One approximates the integration domain by measure spaces and defines the integral as the limit of integrals over the approximating spaces. This…

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$ with $C^2$ boundary and let $K\subset\partial\Omega$ be either a $C^2$ submanifold of the boundary of codimension $k<N$ or a point. In this article we study various problems related to the…

There are very few general theorems on the kernel of the well-known Lichnerowicz Laplacian. In the present article we consider the geometry of the kernel of this operator restricted to covariant (not necessarily symmetric or skew-symmetric)…
