Nonminimal Operator on Curved Manifolds
نویسندگان
چکیده
Asymptotic heat kernel expansion for nonminimal differential operators on curved manifolds in the presence of gauge fields is considered. The complete expressions for the fourth coefficient (E4) in the heat kernel expansion for such operators are presented for the first time. The expressions were computed for general case of manifolds of arbitrary dimension n and also for the most important case n = 4. The calculations have been carried out on PC with the help of a program written in C.

متن کاملHeat Invariant E2 for Nonminimal Operator on Manifolds with Torsion
Computer algebra methods are applied to investigation of spectral asymptotics of elliptic differential operators on curved manifolds with torsion and in the presence of a gauge field. In this paper we present complete expressions for the second coefficient (E2) in the heat kernel expansion for nonminimal operator on manifolds with nonzero torsion. The expressions were computed for general case ...
متن کاملComputer Algebra Study of Spectral Invariants of Differential Operators on Curved Manifolds
We consider asymptotic heat kernel expansion for elliptic differential operators acting on compact closed curved manifolds. The coefficients in this expansion are quantities of fundamental importance in quantum field theory, quantum gravity, spectral geometry and topology of manifolds. Obtaining explicit expressions for these quantities is very laborious task, especially in the problems of mode...
متن کاملOperator-valued tensors on manifolds
In this paper we try to extend geometric concepts in the context of operator valued tensors. To this end, we aim to replace the field of scalars $ mathbb{R} $ by self-adjoint elements of a commutative $ C^star $-algebra, and reach an appropriate generalization of geometrical concepts on manifolds. First, we put forward the concept of operator-valued tensors and extend semi-Riemannian...
متن کاملKernel Asymptotics of Exotic Second-Order Operators
The Navier–Lamé operator of classical elasticity, μ∆v+(λ+μ)∇(∇·v), is the simplest example of a linear differential operator whose second-order terms involve a coupling among the components of a vector-valued function. Similar operators on Riemannian manifolds arise in conformal geometry and in quantum gravity. (In the latter context they have come to be called “nonminimal”, but “exotic” is pro...
