The Small Time Asymptotics of the Heat Kernel at the Cut Locus
We study the small time asymptotics of the gradient and Hessian of the logarithm of the heat kernel at the cut locus, giving, in principle, complete expansions for both quantities. We relate the leading terms of the expansions to the structure of the cut locus, especially to conjugacy, and we provide a probabilistic interpretation in terms of the Brownian bridge. In particular, we show that the...
متن کاملDistributional Asymptotic Expansions of Spectral Functions and of the Associated Green Kernels
Asymptotic expansions of Green functions and spectral densities associated with partial differential operators are widely applied in quantum field theory and elsewhere. The mathematical properties of these expansions can be clarified and more precisely determined by means of tools from distribution theory and summability theory. (These are the same, insofar as recently the classic Cesàro–Riesz ...
متن کاملHeat kernel asymptotic expansions for the Heisenberg sub-Laplacian and the Grushin operator.
The sub-Laplacian on the Heisenberg group and the Grushin operator are typical examples of sub-elliptic operators. Their heat kernels are both given in the form of Laplace-type integrals. By using Laplace's method, the method of stationary phase and the method of steepest descent, we derive the small-time asymptotic expansions for these heat kernels, which are related to the geodesic structure ...
متن کاملSemi-classical trace formulas and heat expansions
There is a strong similarity between the expansions of the heat kernel as worked out by people in Riemannian geometry in the seventies (starting with the famous “Can one hear the shape of a drum” by Mark Kac [Kac], the Berger paper [Berger] and the Mc-Kean-Singer paper [McK-Si]) and the so-called semi-classical trace formulas developed by people in semi-classical analysis (starting with Helffer...
