In this paper we compute the coefficients of the heat kernel asymptotic expansion for Laplace operators acting on scalar functions defined on the so called spherical suspension (or Riemann cap) subjected to Dirichlet boundary conditions. By…
We compute the full asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel Trace$(\exp(-tD^2))$ where $D$ is, assuming RH, the self-adjoint operator whose spectrum is formed of the imaginary parts of non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. The…
We get a generalization of Krein's formula -which relates the resolvents of different selfadjoint extensions of a differential operator with regular coefficients- to the non-regular case $A=-\partial_x^2+(\nu^2-1/4)/x^2+V(x)$, where…
The generator of time-translations on the solution space of the wave equation on stationary spacetimes specialises to the square root of the Laplacian on Riemannian manifolds when the spacetime is ultrastatic. Its spectral analysis…
In this paper we shall study vacuum fluctuations of a single scalar field with Dirichlet boundary conditions in a finite but very long line. The spectral heat kernel, the heat partition function and the spectral zeta function are calculated…
We study the heat kernel for an operator of Laplace type with a $\delta$-function potential concentrated on a closed surface. We derive the general form of the small $t$ asymptotics and calculate explicitly several first heat kernel…
In this paper, we study an asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel for a Laplace operator on a smooth Riemannian manifold without a boundary at enough small values of the proper time. The Seeley-DeWitt coefficients of this decomposition…
We study the spectral properties of the Laplace type operator on the circle. We discuss various approximations for the heat trace, the zeta function and the zeta-regularized determinant. We obtain a differential equation for the heat kernel…
We consider the heat kernel (and the zeta function) associated with Laplace type operators acting on a general irreducible rank 1 locally symmetric space X. The set of Minakshisundaram- Pleijel coefficients {A_k(X)}_{k=0}^{\infty} in the…
In this article we analyze the resolvent, the heat kernel and the spectral zeta function of the operator $-d^2/dr^2 - 1/(4r^2)$ over the finite interval. The structural properties of these spectral functions depend strongly on the chosen…
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…
We study the heat kernel for a Laplace type partial differential operator acting on smooth sections of a complex vector bundle with the structure group $G\times U(1)$ over a Riemannian manifold $M$ without boundary. The total connection on…
We consider zeta functions and heat-kernel expansions on the bounded, generalized cone in arbitrary dimensions using an improved calculational technique. The specific case of a global monopole is analysed in detail and some restrictions…
We show that not feeling the boundary estimates for heat kernels hold for any non-negative self-adjoint extension of the Laplace operator acting on vector-valued compactly supported functions on a domain in $\mathbb{R}^d$. They are…
Heat-kernel expansion and zeta function regularisation are discussed for Laplace type operators with discrete spectrum in non compact domains. Since a general theory is lacking, the heat-kernel expansion is investigated by means of several…
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…
The heat kernel associated with an elliptic second-order partial differential operator of Laplace type acting on smooth sections of a vector bundle over a Riemannian manifold, is studied. A general manifestly covariant method for…
We propose the multiple reflection expansion as a tool for the calculation of heat kernel coefficients. As an example, we give the coefficients for a sphere as a finite sum over reflections, obtaining as a byproduct a relation between the…
The square root of the heat operator $\sqrt{\partial_t-\Delta}$, can be realized as the Dirichlet to Neumann map of the heat extension of data on $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ to $\mathbb R^{n+2}_+$. In this note we obtain similar characterizations for…
We present a method for the calculation of the $a_{3/2}$ heat kernel coefficient of the heat operator trace for a partial differential operator of Laplace type on a compact Riemannian manifold with oblique boundary conditions. Using special…
