Asymptotic expansion coefficients of the heat kernel in Riemann-Cartan space

Abstract

By applying the covariant Taylor expansion method, the fifth lower coefficients the asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel associated with a fermion of spin 1/2 in Riemann-Cartan space are manifestly given. These coefficients in Riemann-Cartan space is derived from those obtained in Riemannian space by simple replacements.
