The heat kernels of Laplacians for spin 1/2, 1, 3/2 and 2 fields, and the asymptotic expansion of their traces are studied on manifolds with conical singularities. The exact mode-by-mode analysis is carried out for 2-dimensional domains and…

For any n-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold (M,g), we construct a canonical t-family of isometric embeddings I_{t}: M->R^{q(t)}, with t>0 sufficiently small and q(t)>>t^{-n/2}. This is done by intrinsically perturbing the heat kernel…

We obtain asymptotic expansions of the spatially discrete 2D heat kernels, or Green's functions on lattices, with respect to powers of time variable up to an arbitrary order and estimate the remainders uniformly on the whole lattice. Unlike…
