Smeared heat - kernel coefficients on the ball and generalized cone
We consider smeared zeta functions and heat-kernel coefficients on the bounded, generalized cone in arbitrary dimensions. The specific case of a ball is analysed in detail and used to restrict the form of the heat-kernel coefficients A n on smooth manifolds with boundary. Supplemented by conformal transformation techniques, it is used to provide an effective scheme for the calculation of the A ...
متن کاملHeatK: A Mathematica Program for Computing Heat Kernel Coefficients
Heat kernel coefficients encode the short distance behavior of propagators in the presence of background fields, and are thus useful in quantum field theory. We present a Mathematica program for computing these coefficients and their derivatives, based on an algorithm by Avramidi.[1] ∗Electronic Address: [email protected] 0 I.

متن کاملHeat Kernel Coefficients for Chiral Bag Boundary Conditions
We study the asymptotic expansion of the smeared L-trace of f e 2 where P is an operator of Dirac type, f is an auxiliary smooth smearing function which is used to localize the problem, and chiral bag boundary conditions are imposed. Special case calculations, functorial methods and the theory of ζand η-invariants are used to obtain the boundary part of the heat-kernel coefficients a1 and a2.
متن کاملHeat Kernel Coefficients for Chern-Simons Boundary Conditions in QED
We consider the four dimensional Euclidean Maxwell theory with a Chern–Simons term on the boundary. The corresponding gauge invariant boundary conditions become dependent on tangential derivatives. Taking the four-sphere as a particular example, we calculate explicitly a number of the first heat kernel coefficients and obtain the general formulas that yields any desired coefficient. A remarkabl...
متن کاملA note on the heat kernel coefficients for nonminimal operators
We consider certain results for the heat kernel of nonminimal operators. The general expressions provided by Gusynin and Kornyak resulting from symbolic computation programmes for n dimensions are evaluated for 4 dimensions which are checked against results given by Barvinsky and Vilkovisky. We also check that the results in flat space are consistent with earlier results of Guendelmen et al. We...
