The study of the heat-trace expansion in noncommutative field theory has shown the existence of Moyal nonlocal Seeley-DeWitt coefficients which are related to the UV/IR mixing and manifest, in some cases, the non-renormalizability of the…

We study the heat kernel for an operator of Laplace type with a $\delta$-function potential concentrated on a closed surface. We derive the general form of the small $t$ asymptotics and calculate explicitly several first heat kernel…

We study the asymptotic behavior of the heat trace coefficients $a_n$ as n tends to infinity for the scalar Laplacian in the context of locally symmetric spaces. We show that if the Plancherel measure of a noncompact type symmetric space is…

We give estimates for positive solutions for the Schr\"odinger equation $(\Delta_\mu+W)u=0$ on a wide class of parabolic weighted manifolds $(M, d\mu)$ when $W$ decays to zero at infinity faster than quadratically. These can be combined…

We derive a sharp, localized version of elliptic type gradient estimates for positive solutions (bounded or not) to the heat equation. These estimates are akin to the Cheng-Yau estimate for the Laplace equation and Hamilton's estimate for…

The results on the heat kernel expansion for the electromagnetic field in the background of dielectric media are briefly reviewed. The common approaches to the calculation of the heat kernel coefficients are discussed from the viewpoint of…

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…

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…

In this thesis, we introduce complex manifolds with local spectral gaps and study their asymptotic behavior using the scaling method. With these asymptotics, we obtain an asymptotic expansion for the Bergman kernel of a Hermitian…

We explicitly construct a heat kernel as a Neumann series for certain function spaces, such as $L^{1}$, $L^{2}$, and Hilbert spaces, associated to a locally compact Hausdorff space $\mathfrak{X}$ with Borel $\sigma$-algebra $\mathcal{B}$,…

This is the first of two articles in which we define an elliptically degenerating family of hyperbolic Riemann surfaces and study the asymptotic behavior of the associated spectral theory. Our study is motivated by a result from \cite{He…

By constructing a coupling with unbounded time-dependent drift, dimension-free Harnack inequalities are established for a large class of stochastic differential equations with multiplicative noise. These inequalities are applied to the…

Asymptotic expansions of Green functions and spectral densities associated with partial differential operators are widely applied in quantum field theory and elsewhere. The mathematical properties of these expansions can be clarified and…

The covariant technique for calculating the heat kernel asymptotic expansion for an elliptic differential second order operator is generalized to manifolds with boundary. The first boundary coefficients of the asymptotic expansion which are…

As is well-known, the Witten deformation of the De Rham complex computes the De Rham cohomology. In this paper we study the Witten deformation on a noncompact manifold and restrict it to differential forms which behave polynomially near…

The heat kernel in curved space-time is computed to fourth order in a strict expansion in the number of covariant derivatives. The computation is made for arbitrary non abelian gauge and scalar fields and for the Riemann connection in the…

We consider the asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel of a generalized Laplacian for $t\to 0^+$ and characterize the coefficients $a_k$ of this expansion by a natural intertwining property. In particular we will give a closed formula for…

We study strong ratio limit properties and the exact long time asymptotics of the heat kernel of a general second-order parabolic operator which is defined on a noncompact Riemannian manifold.

The spectral problem where the field satisfies Dirichlet conditions on one part of the boundary of the relevant domain and Neumann on the remainder is discussed. It is shown that there does not exist a classical asymptotic expansion for…

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…
