New generalized Mehler-Fock transformations and applications to the resolvent equation

Abstract

We investigate and solve a special class of integrals involving associated Legendre functions, which can be regarded as generalized Mehler-Fock transformations. Some of the integrals appear naturally when dealing with the heat or resolvent equation of a wedge in the hyperbolic plane. As an application, we derive explicit formulas for the Green's function and the heat kernel of a wedge.
