Heat Kernel Asymptotics on Symmetric Spaces
arXiv:math/0605762
Abstract
We develop a new method for the calculation of the heat trace asymptotics of the Laplacian on symmetric spaces that is based on a representation of the heat semigroup in form of an average over the Lie group of isometries and obtain a generating function for the whole sequence of all heat invariants.
