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.
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…
Heat kernel expansion coefficients are calculated for vacuum fluctuations with distributional background potentials and field strengths. Terms up to and including t^5/2 are presented.
A construction of the heat kernel diagonal is considered as element of generalized Zeta function, that, being meromorfic function, its gradient at the origin defines determinant of a differential operator in a technique for regularizing…
The high temperature asymptotics of the Helmholtz free energy of electromagnetic field subjected to boundary conditions with spherical and cylindrical symmetries are constructed by making use of a general expansion in terms of heat kernel…
We consider finite area convex Euclidean circular sectors. We prove a variational Polyakov formula which shows how the zeta-regularized determinant of the Laplacian varies with respect to the opening angle. Varying the angle corresponds to…
The heat kernels of Laplacians for spin 1/2, 1, 3/2 and 2 fields, and the asymptotic expansion of their traces are studied on manifolds with conical singularities. The exact mode-by-mode analysis is carried out for 2-dimensional domains and…
By using ideas and strong results borrowed from the classical moment problem, we show how -under very general conditions- a discrete number of values of the spectral zeta function (associated generically with a non-decreasing sequence of…
We establish a new formula for the heat kernel on regular trees in terms of classical I-Bessel functions. Although the formula is explicit, and a proof is given through direct computation, we also provide a conceptual viewpoint using the…
Denoting by $\Delta_\nu$ the Fubini-Study Laplacian perturbed by a uniform magnetic field strength proportional to $\nu$, this operator has a discrete spectrum consisting on eigenvalues $\beta_m, \ m\in\mathbb{Z}_+$, when acting on bounded…
The mode properties for spectral and mixed boundary conditions for massless spin-half fields are derived for the $d$--ball. The corresponding functional determinants and heat-kernel coefficients are presented, the latter as polynomials in…
We give an introduction to the heat kernel technique and zeta function. Two applications are considered. First we derive the high temperature asymptotics of the free energy for boson fields in terms of the heat kernel expansion and zeta…
The Hodge--de Rham Laplacian on spheres acting on antisymmetric tensor fields is considered. Explicit expressions for the spectrum are derived in a quite direct way, confirming previous results. Associated functional determinants and the…
We consider heat kernel for higher-order operators with constant coefficients in $d$-dimensio\-nal Euclidean space and its asymptotic behavior. For arbitrary operators which are invariant with respect to $O(d)$-rotations we obtain exact…
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…
A review is presented of some recent progress in spectral geometry on manifolds with boundary: local boundary-value problems where the boundary operator includes the effect of tangential derivatives; application of conformal variations and…
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 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…
The first heat kernel coefficients are calculated for a dispersive ball whose permittivity at high frequency differs from unity by inverse powers of the frequency. The corresponding divergent part of the vacuum energy of the electromagnetic…
Being motivated by applications to the physics of Weyl semimetals we study spectral geometry of Dirac operator with an abelian gauge field and an axial vector field. We impose chiral bag boundary conditions with variable chiral phase…
