This paper presents a detailed analysis of the heat kernel on an $(\mathbb{N}\times\mathbb{N})$-parameter family of compact metric measure spaces, which do not satisfy the volume doubling property. In particular, uniform bounds of the heat…
We investigate heat transport in various quantum spin chains, using the projector operator technique. We find that anomalous heat transport is linked not to the integrability of the Hamiltonian, but to whether it can be mapped to a model of…
Calculation of hadronization, decay or scattering processes at non-zero temperatures and densities within the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio-like models requires some techniques for computation of Feynmann diagrams. Decomposition of Feynman diagrams at…

We study the one-loop covariant effective action of Lifshitz theories using the heat kernel technique. The characteristic feature of Lifshitz theories is an anisotropic scaling between space and time. This is enforced by the existence of a…
We obtain two-sided estimates for the heat kernel (or the fundamental function) associated with the following fractional Schr\"odinger operator with negative Hardy potential $$\Delta^{\alpha/2} -\lambda |x|^{-\alpha}$$ on $\RR^d$, where…
Curvature expansion for the heat kernel trace and the one-loop effective action is built for the wave operator of the theory in the quasi-thermal setup of a nonvacuum quantum state. This setup implies a non-static and non-stationary…
It is argued that the derivative expansion is a suitable method to deal with finite temperature field theory, if it is restricted to spatial derivatives only. Using this method, a simple and direct calculation is presented for the…
We generalize the Endo formula originally developed for the computation of the heat kernel asymptotic expansion for non-minimal operators in commutative gauge theories to the noncommutative case. In this way, the first three non-zero heat…
We present an efficient way to compute diagonal and off-diagonal n-point correlation functions for quantum spin-systems within the loop algorithm. We show that the general rules for the evaluation of these correlation functions take an…

From the uniformization theorem, we know that every Riemann surface has a simply-connected covering space. Moreover, there are only three simply-connected Riemann surfaces: the sphere, the Euclidean plane, and the hyperbolic plane. In this…
