We initiate the study of spectral zeta functions $\zeta_{X}$ for finite and infinite graphs $X$, instead of the Ihara zeta function, with a perspective towards zeta functions from number theory and connections to hypergeometric functions.…
As is known, the free heat-kernel on the integers (a modified Bessel function) is turned into the periodic free heat-kernel on the discrete circle by factoring, giving a pre-image sum. I generalise existing treatments by making the…
In previous works, we used a so-called deformation formula in order to study, in particular, the Borel summability of the heat kernel of some operators. A goal of this paper is to collect miscellaneous remarks related to these works. Here…
We establish heat kernel upper bounds for a continuous-time random walk under unbounded conductances satisfying an integrability assumption, where we correct and extend recent results by the authors to a general class of speed measures. The…
A short informal overview about recent progress in the calculation of the effective action in quantum gravity is given. I describe briefly the standard heat kernel approach to the calculation of the effective action and discuss the…
We consider Laplacians acting on sections of homogeneous vector bundles over symmetric spaces. By using an integral representation of the heat semi-group we find a formal solution for the heat kernel diagonal that gives a generating…
A diagramatic heat kernel expansion technique is presented. The method is especially well suited to the small-derivative expansion of the heat kernel, but it can also be used to reproduce the results obtained by the approach known as…
An asymptotic expansion of the trace of the heat kernel on a cone where the heat coefficients have a delta function behavior at the apex is obtained. It is used to derive the renormalized effective action and total energy of a…
We consider the heat semi-group generated by the Laplace operator on metric trees. Among our results we show how the behavior of the associated heat kernel depends on the geometry of the tree. As applications we establish new eigenvalue…
We discuss modifications in the integral representation of the Riemann zeta-function that lead to generalizations of the Riemann functional equation that preserves the symmetry $s\to (1-s)$ in the critical strip. By modifying one integral…
We suggest a method of reduction of mixed absolute and relative boundary conditions to pure ones. The case of rank two tensor is studied in detail. For four-dimensional disk the corresponding heat kernel is expressed in terms of scalar heat…
In this paper we shall study vacuum fluctuations of a single scalar field with Dirichlet boundary conditions in a finite but very long line. The spectral heat kernel, the heat partition function and the spectral zeta function are calculated…
We obtain an upper heat kernel bound for the Laplacian on metric graphs arising as one skeletons of certain polygonal tilings of the plane, which reflects the one dimensional as well as the two dimensional nature of these graphs.
In this article we analyze the resolvent, the heat kernel and the spectral zeta function of the operator $-d^2/dr^2 - 1/(4r^2)$ over the finite interval. The structural properties of these spectral functions depend strongly on the chosen…
We calculate the closed analytic form of the solution of heat kernel equation for the anisotropic generalizations of flat Laplacian. We consider a UV as well as UV/IR interpolating generalizations. In all cases, the result can be expressed…
We connect two different approaches for calculating functional determinants on quotients of hyperbolic spacetime: the heat kernel method and the quasinormal mode method. For the example of a rotating BTZ background, we show how the image…
A functorial derivation is presented of a heat-kernel expansion coefficient on a manifold with a singular fixed point set of codimension two. The existence of an extrinsic curvature term is pointed out.
In this note we apply heat kernels to derive some localization formula in sympletcic geometry, to study moduli spaces of flat connections on a Riemann surface, to obtain the push-forward measures for certain maps between Lie groups and to…
Let us consider a time-dependent differential operator quadratic with respect to the phase variables. Let us consider a multiplication operator defined with the help of a "small" matrix-valued function. Under suitable conditions, we give an…
We prove upper and lower bounds of the heat kernel for the operator $\Delta-\nabla (\frac{1}{|x|^{\alpha}})\cdot \nabla $ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}\setminus\{0} $ where $\alpha >0$. We obtain these bounds from an isoperimetric inequality for a…
