Effective actions with fixed points, (error in derivation of coefficient corrected)
J. S. Dowker
The specific form of the constant term in the asymptotic expansion of the heat-kernel on an axially-symmetric space with a codimension two fixed-point set of conical singularities…
Heat kernels on curved cones
J. S. Dowker
A functorial derivation is presented of a heat-kernel expansion coefficient on a manifold with a singular fixed point set of codimension two. The existence of an extrinsic curvatur…
Remarks on geometric entropy
J. S. Dowker
The recently discussed notion of geometric entropy is shown to be related to earlier calculations of thermal effects in Rindler space. The evaluation is extended to de Sitter space…
Diffeomorphisms of the Klein Bottle and Projective Plane
J. S. Apps, J. S. Dowker
We calculate the Riemann curvature tensor and sectional curvature for the Lie group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of the Klein bottle and projective plane. In particular, we…
