Krein's Formula And Heat-Kernel Expansion For Some Differential Operators With A Regular Singularity

Abstract

We get a generalization of Krein's formula -which relates the resolvents of different selfadjoint extensions of a differential operator with regular coefficients- to the non-regular case $A=-{\partial }_x^2+({\nu }^2-1/4)/x^2+V(x)$, where $0<\nu <1$ and $V(x)$ is an analytic function of $x\in {\mathbb{R}}^{+}$ bounded from below. We show that the trace of the heat-kernel $e^{-tA}$ admits a non-standard small-t asymptotic expansion which contains, in general, integer powers of $t^{\nu }$. In particular, these powers are present for those selfadjoint extensions of $A$ which are characterized by boundary conditions that break the local formal scale invariance at the singularity.
