In previous works, we used a so-called deformation formula in order to study, in particular, the Borel summability of the heat kernel of some operators. A goal of this paper is to collect miscellaneous remarks related to these works. Here…

In this paper, we study the heat kernel associated to the intrinsic sublaplacian on a quaternionic contact manifold considered as a subriemannian manifold. More precisely, we explicitly compute the first two coefficients $c_0$ and $c_1$…

The aim of this note is twofold. The first one is to find conditions on the asymptotic sequence which ensures differentiation of a general asymptotic expansion with respect to it. Our method results from the classical one but generalizes…

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…

In this thesis we deal with spectral invariants for polygons and closed orbisurfaces of constant Gaussian curvature. In each case our method is to study the heat kernel and the asymptotic expansion of the heat trace. First, we investigate…

We investigate the heat kernel with Robin boundary condition and prove comparison theorems for heat kernel on geodesic balls and on minimal submanifolds. We also prove an eigenvalue comparison theorem for the first Robin eigenvalues on…

We suggest a method of reduction of mixed absolute and relative boundary conditions to pure ones. The case of rank two tensor is studied in detail. For four-dimensional disk the corresponding heat kernel is expressed in terms of scalar heat…

Asymptotic expansions of heat kernels and heat traces of Schr\"odinger operators on non-compact spaces are rarely explored, and even for cases as simple as $\mathbb{C}^n$ with (quasi-homogeneous) polynomials potentials, it's already very…
