We derive a detailed asymptotic expansion of the heat trace for the Laplace-Beltrami operator on functions on manifolds with conic singularities, using the Singular Asymptotics Lemma of Jochen Bruening and Robert T. Seeley [BS]. In the…
We study the relationship between the geometry and the Laplace spectrum of a Riemannian orbifold O via its heat kernel; as in the manifold case, the time-zero asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel furnishes geometric information about O.…
We study new invariants of elliptic partial differential operators acting on sections of a vector bundle over a closed Riemannian manifold that we call the relativistic heat trace and the quantum heat traces. We obtain some reduction…
Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group equipped with a bi-invariant metric. We calculate the asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel of the laplacian on $G$ and the heat trace using Lie algebra methods. The Duflo isomorphism plays a key…
The short-time heat kernel expansion of elliptic operators provides a link between local and global features of classical geometries. For many geometric structures related to (non-)involutive distributions, the natural differential…
We introduce and study new invariants associated with Laplace type elliptic partial differential operators on manifolds. These invariants are constructed by using the off-diagonal heat kernel; they are not pure spectral invariants, that is,…
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 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)…
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…
We prove heat kernel estimates for the $\bar\partial$-Neumann Laplacian acting in spaces of differential forms over noncompact, strongly pseudoconvex complex manifolds with a Lie group symmetry and compact quotient. We also relate 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…
It is well-known that the asymptotic expansion of the trace of the heat kernel for Laplace operators on smooth compact Riemmanian manifolds can be obtained through termwise integration of the asymptotic expansion of the on-diagonal heat…
We consider the Hodge Laplacian on manifolds with incomplete edge singularities, with infinite dimensional von Neumann spaces and intricate elliptic boundary value theory. We single out a class of its algebraic self-adjoint extensions. Our…
We study second-order elliptic partial differential operators acting on sections of vector bundles over a compact manifold with boundary with a non-scalar positive definite leading symbol. Such operators, called non-Laplace type operators,…
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…
The asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel associated with Laplace operators is considered for general irreducible rank one locally symmetric spaces. Invariants of the Chern-Simons theory of irreducible U(n)- flat connections on real…
We study a technical problem arising from the spectral geometry of noncommutative tori: the small time heat trace asymptotic associated to a general second order elliptic operator. We extend the rearrangement operators in the conformal case…
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 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…
Bounds on the logarithmic derivatives of the heat kernel on a compact Riemannian manifolds have been long known, and were recently extended, for the log-gradient and log-Hessian, to general complete Riemannian manifolds. Here, we further…
