We present a very quick and powerful method for the calculation of heat-kernel coefficients. It makes use of rather common ideas, as integral representations of the spectral sum, Mellin transforms, non-trivial commutation of series and…
The heat coefficients related to the Laplace-Beltrami operator defined on the hyperbolic compact manifold $H^3/\Ga$ are evaluated in the case in which the discrete group $\Ga$ contains elliptic and hyperbolic elements. It is shown that…
We develop a unified method to study spectral determinants for several different manifolds, including spheres and hemispheres, and projective spaces. This is a direct consequence of an approach based on deriving recursion relations for the…
In this paper we analyze the small-t asymptotic expansion of the trace of the heat kernel associated with a Laplace operator endowed with a spherically symmetric polynomially confining potential on the unbounded, d-dimensional Euclidean…
We present an ab initio approach to integration theory for nonunital spectral triples. This is done without reference to local units and in the full generality of semifinite noncommutative geometry. The main result is an equality between…
Heat kernel coefficients encode the short distance behavior of propagators in the presence of background fields, and are thus useful in quantum field theory. We present a Mathematica program for computing these coefficients and their…
The heat equation does not have time-reversal invariance. However, using a solution of an associated wave equation which has time-reversal invariance, one can establish an explicit extraction formula of the minimum sphere that is centered…
For manifolds with boundary, we define an extension of Wodzicki's noncommutative residue to boundary value problems in Boutet de Monvel's calculus. We show that this residue can be recovered with the help of heat kernel expansions and…
We give an explicit geometric formula for the twisted orbital integrals using the method of the hypoelliptic Laplacian developed by Bismut. Combining with the twisted trace formula, we can evaluate the equivariant trace of the heat…
We present the hyperasymptotic expansions for a certain group of solutions of the heat equation. We extend this result to a more general case of linear PDEs with constant coefficients. The generalisation is based on the method of Borel…
We use invariance theory to determine the coefficient $a_{m+1,m}^{d+\delta}$ in the supertrace for the twisted de Rham complex with absolute boundary conditions.
This paper extends results of M. van den Berg on two-term asymptotics for the trace of Sch\"odinger operators when the Laplacian is replaced by non-local (integral) operators corresponding to rotationally symmetric stable processes and…
We calculate numerically the heat transfer rate between a spatially dispersive sphere and a half-space. By utilising Huygens' principle and the extinction theorem, we derive the necessary reflection coefficients at the sphere and the plate…
An exact trace formula for the perturbation of the Laplacian by a Dirac delta potential on a compact hyperbolic Riemann surface is derived. The formula can be considered an analogue of the Selberg trace formula. The difference of perturbed…
We give a new proof of the trace formula for regular graphs. Our approach is inspired by path integral approach in quantum mechanics, and calculations are mostly combinatorial.
Radiative heat exchange of spherical particles is recalculated in the framework of fluctuation electrodynamics using the dipole approximation. We show that correct numerical coefficient in the resulting integral expression equals 4/pi, in…
The heat kernel expansion is a very convenient tool for studying one-loop divergences, anomalies and various asymptotics of the effective action. The aim of this report is to collect useful information on the heat kernel coefficients…
We present a brief overview of several approaches for calculating the local asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel for Laplace-type operators. The different methods developed in the papers of both authors some time ago are described in…
This is the second in a series of two articles where we study various aspects of the spectral theory associated to families of hyperbolic Riemann surfaces obtained through elliptic degeneration. In the first article, we investigate the…
We compute analogues of twisted traces of CM values of harmonic modular functions on hyperbolic $3$-space and show that they are essentially given by Fourier coefficients of the $j$-invariant. From this we deduce that the twisted traces of…
