The heat kernels of Laplacians for spin 1/2, 1, 3/2 and 2 fields, and the asymptotic expansion of their traces are studied on manifolds with conical singularities. The exact mode-by-mode analysis is carried out for 2-dimensional domains and…

The main challenge addressed in this paper is to identify individual terms in a superposition of heat kernels on a graph. We establish geometric conditions on the vertices at which these heat kernels are centered and find bounds on the time…

We present a simple observation showing that the heat kernel on a locally finite graph behaves for short times $t$ roughly like $t^d$, where $d$ is the combinatorial distance. This is very different from the classical Varadhan type behavior…
