In this paper, we extend the heat kernel methods to the first-order formalism of gravity, specifically, in the language of differential forms. This allows us to compute the effective dynamics of 4D gravity when the tetrad degrees of freedom…
We approximate the heat kernel $h(x,y,t)$ on a compact connected Riemannian manifold $M$ without boundary uniformly in $(x,y,t)\in M\times M\times [a,b]$, $a>0$, by $n$-fold integrals over $M^n$ of the densities of Brownian bridges.…
Path integrals for particles in curved spaces can be used to compute trace anomalies in quantum field theories, and more generally to study properties of quantum fields coupled to gravity in first quantization. While their construction in…
The quantization of gauge fields and gravitation on manifolds with boundary makes it necessary to study boundary conditions which involve both normal and tangential derivatives of the quantized field. The resulting one-loop divergences can…

In a 1991 paper by Buttig and Eichhorn, the existence and uniqueness of a differential forms heat kernel on open manifolds of bounded geometry was proven. In that paper, it was shown that the heat kernel obeyed certain properties, one of…
Under the assumption that data lie on a compact (unknown) manifold without boundary, we derive finite sample bounds for kernel smoothing and its (first and second) derivatives, and we establish asymptotic normality through Berry-Esseen type…
In this paper, we study Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators with quadratic potentials. We use Hamiltonian formalism to characterise the singularities produced by the potentials by finding explicit geodesics of the operators, and obtain the heat…
We demonstrate how to obtain explicitly the propagators for quantum fields residing in curved space-time using the heat kernel for which a new construction procedure exists. Propagators are determined for the case of Rindler,…
Most state-of-the-art graph kernels only take local graph properties into account, i.e., the kernel is computed with regard to properties of the neighborhood of vertices or other small substructures. On the other hand, kernels that do take…
The trace of the heat kernel and the one-loop effective action for the generic differential operator are calculated to third order in the background curvatures: the Riemann curvature, the commutator curvature and the potential. In the case…
The fragmentation equation is commonly expressed in terms of two functions, the rate of fragmentation and the mean number of fragments. In the case of binary fragmentation an alternative description is possible based on the fragmentation…
