We propose the multiple reflection expansion as a tool for the calculation of heat kernel coefficients. As an example, we give the coefficients for a sphere as a finite sum over reflections, obtaining as a byproduct a relation between the…
Let $L$ be an elliptic differential operator on a complete connected Riemannian manifold $M$ such that the associated heat kernel has two-sided Gaussian bounds as well as a Gaussian type gradient estimate. Let $L^{(\aa)}$ be the…
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…
Among the available perturbative approaches in quantum field theory, heat kernel techniques provide a powerful and geometrically transparent framework for computing effective actions in nontrivial backgrounds. In this work, resummation…
The operator $e^{-tA}$ and its trace are investigated in the case when $A$ is a non-self-adjoint elliptic differential operator on a manifold with conical singularities. Under a certain spectral condition (parameter-ellipticity) we obtain a…
In this paper, we observe how the heat equation in a non-cylindrical domain can arise as the asymptotic limit of a parabolic problem in a cylindrical domain, by adding a potential that vanishes outside the limit domain. This can be seen as…
This paper provides sharp Dirichlet heat kernel estimates in inner uniform domains, including bounded inner uniform domains, in the context of certain (possibly non-symmetric) bilinear forms resembling Dirichlet forms. For instance, the…
We generalize several recent results concerning the asymptotic expansions of Bergman kernels to the framework of geometric quantization and establish an asymptotic symplectic identification property. More precisely, we study the asymptotic…
We work out the general features of perturbative field theory on noncommutative manifolds defined by isospectral deformation. These (in general curved) `quantum spaces', generalizing Moyal planes and noncommutative tori, are constructed…
We review the construction of the Dirac operator and its properties in Riemannian geometry and show how the asymptotic expansion of the trace of the heat kernel determines the spectral invariants of the Dirac operator and its index. We also…
We derive a complete asymptotic expansion of generalized Witten integrals for Hamiltonian circle actions on arbitrary symplectic manifolds, characterizing the coefficients in the expansion as integrals over the symplectic strata of the…
A new type of gradient estimate is established for diffusion semigroups on non-compact complete Riemannian manifolds. As applications, a global Harnack inequality with power and a heat kernel estimate are derived for diffusion semigroups on…
We study heat kernels of Schr\"odinger operators whose kinetic terms are non-local operators built for sufficiently regular symmetric L\'evy measures with radial decreasing profiles and potentials belong to Kato class. Our setting is fairly…
We consider classical $O(N)$ vector models in dimension three and higher and investigate the nature of the low-temperature expansions for their multipoint spin correlations. We prove that such expansions define asymptotic series, and derive…
Heat-kernel expansion and zeta function regularisation are discussed for Laplace type operators with discrete spectrum in non compact domains. Since a general theory is lacking, the heat-kernel expansion is investigated by means of several…
The trace of the heat kernel is expanded in a basis of nonlocal curvature invariants of $N$th order. The coefficients of this expansion (the nonlocal form factors) are calculated to third order in the curvature inclusive. The early-time and…
We consider a certain sequence of flat vector bundles on a compact locally symmetric orbifold, and we evaluate explicitly the associated asymptotic Ray-Singer real analytic torsion. The basic idea is to computing the heat trace via…
We provide in this work a semigroup approach to the study of singular PDEs, in the line of the paracontrolled approach developed recently by Gubinelli, Imkeller and Perkowski. Starting from a heat semigroup, we develop a functional calculus…
It was proved by H. Bahouri, P. G{\'e}rard and C.-J. Xu in [9] that the Schr{\"o}dinger equation on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^d$, involving the sublaplacian, is an example of a totally non-dispersive evolution equation: for this…
In this paper, we first give a direct proof for two recurrence relations of the heat kernels for hyperbolic spaces in \cite{DM}. Then, by similar computation, we give two similar recurrence relations of the heat kernels for spheres.…
