Diagram technique for the heat kernel of the covariant Laplace operator

Abstract

We present a diagram technique used to calculate the Seeley-DeWitt coefficients for a covariant Laplace operator. We use the combinatorial properties of the coefficients to construct a matrix formalism and derive a formula for an arbitrary coefficient.
