We consider certain constant-coefficient differential operators on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with positive-definite symbols. Each such operator $\Lambda$ with symbol $P$ defines a semigroup $e^{-t\Lambda}$ , $t>0$ , admitting a convolution kernel…

We show in the smooth category that the heat trace asymptotics and the heat content asymptotics can be made to grow arbitrarily rapidly. In the real analytic context, however, this is not true and we establish universal bounds on their…
We study the zeta-regularized determinant of a non self-adjoint elliptic operator on a closed odd-dimensional manifold. We show that, if the spectrum of the operator is symmetric with respect to the imaginary axis, then the determinant is…
Let $H_h = h^2 L +V$ where $L$ is a self-adjoint Laplace type operator acting on sections of a vector bundle over a compact Riemannian manifold and $V$ is a symmetric endomorphism field. We derive an asymptotic expansion for the heat kernel…
In this note we explain the relationship of the Wodzicki residue of (certain powers of) an elliptic differential operator $P$\ acting on sections of a complex vector bundle $E$\ over a closed compact manifold $M$\ and the asymptotic…
We study the spectrum of the linear operator $L = - \partial_{\theta} - \epsilon \partial_{\theta} (\sin \theta \partial_{\theta})$ subject to the periodic boundary conditions on $\theta \in [-\pi,\pi]$. We prove that the operator is closed…
We study the small-time asymptotics of the heat content of smooth non-characteristic domains of a general rank-varying sub-Riemannian structure, equipped with an arbitrary smooth measure. By adapting to the sub-Riemannian case a technique…
Asymptotic expansions are obtained for contour integrals of the form \[ \int_a^b \exp \left( - zp(t) + z^{\nu /\mu } r(t) \right)q(t)dt, \] in which $z$ is a large real or complex parameter, $p(t)$, $q(t)$ and $r(t)$ are analytic functions…
The off-diagonal heat-kernel expansion of a Laplace operator including a general gauge-connection is computed on a compact manifold without boundary up to third order in the curvatures. These results are used to study the early-time…
The abstract theory of self-adjoint extensions of symmetric operators is used to construct self-adjoint realizations of a second-order elliptic operator on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ with linear boundary conditions on (a relatively open part of) a…
In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of second-order uniformly elliptic operators on weighted Riemannian manifolds. They naturally emerge when studying spectral properties of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on families of manifolds…
We study the spectral convergence of compact, self-adjoint operators on a separable Hilbert space under operator norm perturbations, and derive asymptotic expansions for their eigenvalues and eigenprojections. Our analysis focuses on…
By applying the covariant Taylor expansion method, the fifth lower coefficients the asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel associated with a fermion of spin 1/2 in Riemann-Cartan space are manifestly given. These coefficients in…
We consider an elliptic self-adjoint first order differential operator L acting on pairs (2-columns) of complex-valued half-densities over a connected compact 3-dimensional manifold without boundary. The principal symbol of the operator L…
Heat-invariants are a class of spectral invariants of Laplace-type operators on compact Riemannian manifolds that contain information about the geometry of the manifold, e.g., the metric and connection. Since Brownian motion solves the heat…
In this short paper, we derive an alternative proof for some known [van den Berg & Gilkey 2015] short-time asymptotics of the heat content in compact full-dimensional submanifolds $S$ with smooth boundary. This includes formulae like…
We consider the spectral behavior and noncommutative geometry of commutators $[P,f]$, where $P$ is an operator of order $0$ with geometric origin and $f$ a multiplication operator by a function. When $f$ is H\"{o}lder continuous, the…
For an operator $A:= A_h= A^0(hD) + V(x,hD)$ with a "potential" $V$ decaying as $|x|\to \infty$ we establish under certain assumptions the complete and differentiable with respect to $\tau$ asymptotics of $e_h(x,x,\tau)$ where…
We consider the asymptotic expansion of the functional series \[S_{\mu}^\pm(a;\lambda)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(\pm 1)^n e^{-\lambda n}}{(n^2+a^2)^\mu}\] for $\lambda>0$ and $\mu\geq0$ as $|a|\to \infty$ in the sector $|\arg\,a|<\pi/2$. The…
