Algorithms for the calculation of the heat kernel coefficients
Ivan G. Avramidi, Rainer Schimming
We present a brief overview of several approaches for calculating the local asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel for Laplace-type operators. The different methods developed in t…

The heat kernel approach for calculating the effective action in quantum field theory and quantum gravity
Ivan G. Avramidi
A short informal overview about recent progress in the calculation of the effective action in quantum gravity is given. I describe briefly the standard heat kernel approach to the…

Covariant approximation schemes for calculation of the heat kernel in quantum field theory
Ivan G. Avramidi
This paper is an overview on our recent results in the calculation of the heat kernel in quantum field theory and quantum gravity. We introduce a deformation of the background fiel…
