We obtain the asymptotic expansion of the solutions of some anisotropic heat equations when the initial data belong to polynomially weighted Lp-spaces. We mainly address two model examples. In the first one, the diffusivity is of order two…
The combinatorial heat and wave equations on all finite Cayley and coset graphs with discrete time variable was solved by Lal {\it et al}. In this paper, the results of the above paper are extended for infinite Cayley and coset graphs,…
The heat trace of a planar polygon contains corner terms depending only on the opening angles, while the heat trace of a smooth planar domain contains curvature terms along the boundary. We show that, for curvilinear polygons, these two…

A functorial derivation is presented of a heat-kernel expansion coefficient on a manifold with a singular fixed point set of codimension two. The existence of an extrinsic curvature term is pointed out.
This work explores the spectra of quantum graphs where the Schr\"odinger operator on the edges is equipped with a potential. The scattering approach, which was originally introduced for the potential free case, is extended to this case and…
Using index-free notation, we present the diagonal values of the first five heat kernel coefficients associated with a general Laplace-type operator on a compact Riemannian space without boundary. The fifth coefficient appears here for the…

In this article we derive Harnack estimates for conjugate heat kernel in an abstract geometric flow. Our calculation involves a correction term D. When D is nonnegative, we are able to obtain a Harnack inequality. Our abstract formulation…
We use a basic martingale method to show a differentiation formula for the derivatives $$d(P_tf)(x_0)(v_0)={1\over t} E f(x_t) \int_0^t \langle Y(x_s)(v_s),dB_t\rangle_{R^m}.$$ These are proved first on $R^n$, then on manifolds. Afterwards…

The theory of signature invariants of links in rational homology spheres is applied to covering links of homology boundary links. From patterns and Seifert matrices of homology boundary links, an explicit formula is derived to compute…
We consider the asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel of a generalized Laplacian for $t\to 0^+$ and characterize the coefficients $a_k$ of this expansion by a natural intertwining property. In particular we will give a closed formula for…
Let M be a smooth closed (compact without boundary) Riemannian manifold of dimension n and P a q-dimensional smooth submanifold of M. U will denote the tubular neighborhood of P in M. Let E be a smooth vector bundle over M. Here we will…
A new approach to the Selberg trace formula, and more precisely to its spectral side, is developed. The approach relies on a notion of "Plancherel decomposition" of "asymptotically finite functions", and may generalize to obtain a general…

An integrable polygon is one whose interior angles are fractions of $\pi$; that is to say of the form $\frac \pi n$ for positive integers $n$. We consider the Laplace spectrum on these polygons with the Dirichlet and Neumann boundary…
