This paper is part of a series papers devoted to geometric and spectral theoretic applications of the hypoelliptic calculus on Heisenberg manifolds. More specifically, in this paper we make use of the Heisenberg calculus of Beals-Greiner…
We establish small-time asymptotic expansions for heat kernels of hypoelliptic H\"ormander operators in a neighborhood of the diagonal, generalizing former results obtained in particular by M\'etivier and by Ben Arous. The coefficients of…
The asymptotic expansion of the heat-kernel for small values of its argument has been studied in many different cases and has been applied to 1-loop calculations in Quantum Field Theory. In this thesis we consider this asymptotic behavior…
The covariant technique for calculating the heat kernel asymptotic expansion for an elliptic differential second order operator is generalized to manifolds with boundary. The first boundary coefficients of the asymptotic expansion which are…
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 give a short overview of the effective action approach in quantum field theory and quantum gravity and describe various methods for calculation of the asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel for second-order elliptic partial differential…
We consider the basic heat operator on functions on a Riemannian foliation of a compact, Riemannian manifold, and we show that the trace of this operator has a particular short time asymptotic expansion. The coefficients in this expansion…
We consider second-order elliptic partial differential operators acting on sections of vector bundles over a compact Riemannian manifold without boundary, working without the assumption of Laplace-like principal part $-\N^\mu\N_\mu$. Our…
The study of spectral properties of natural geometric elliptic partial differential operators acting on smooth sections of vector bundles over Riemannian manifolds is a central theme in global analysis, differential geometry and…
The method which allows for asymptotic expansion of the one-loop effective action W=ln det A is formulated. The positively defined elliptic operator A= U + M^2 depends on the external classical fields taking values in the Lie algebra of the…
In this paper we prove a short time asymptotic expansion of a hypoelliptic heat kernel on an Euclidean space and a compact manifold. We study the "cut locus" case, namely, the case where energy-minimizing paths which join the two points…
Asymptotic expansions of heat kernels and heat traces of Schr\"odinger operators on non-compact spaces are rarely explored, and even for cases as simple as $\mathbb{C}^n$ with (quasi-homogeneous) polynomials potentials, it's already very…
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 consider the heat kernel for higher-derivative and nonlocal operators in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space-time and its asymptotic behavior. As a building block for operators of such type, we consider the heat kernel of the minimal…
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…
The heat kernel expansion for a general non--minimal operator on the spaces $C^\infty (\Lambda^k)$ and $C^\infty (\Lambda^{p,q})$ is studied. The coefficients of the heat kernel asymptotics for this operator are expressed in terms of the…
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 give a short proof of a strong version of the short time asymptotic expansion of heat kernels associated to Laplace type operators acting on sections of vector bundles over compact Riemannian manifolds, including exponential decay of the…
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 study the heat trace for both the drifting Laplacian as well as Schr\"odinger operators on compact Riemannian manifolds. In the case of a finite regularity potential or weight function, we prove the existence of a partial (six term)…
