We show that, in odd dimensions, any real valued, bounded potential of compact support has at least one scattering resonance. For dimensions three and higher this was previously known only for sufficiently smooth potentials. The proof is…

We compute the first 5 terms in the short-time heat trace asymptotics expansion for an operator of Laplace type with transfer boundary conditions using the functorial properties of these invariants.

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…

In this paper we study properties of a variant of the $1/2$-caloric capacity, called $1/2$-symmetric caloric capacity. The latter is associated simultaneously with the $1/2$-fractional heat equation and its conjugate. We establish its…
