Spectral geometry for strings and branes
Dmitri V. Vassilevich
I give a short guide into applications of the heat kernel technique to string/brane physics with an emphasis on the emerging boundary value problems.
Asymptotics of the heat equation with `exotic' boundary conditions or with time dependent coefficients
Peter B. Gilkey, Klaus Kirsten, JeongHyeong Park +1
The heat trace asymptotics are discussed for operators of Laplace type with Dirichlet, Robin, spectral, D/N, and transmittal boundary conditions. The heat content asymptotics are d…
S-matrix for s-wave gravitational scattering
P. Fischer, D. Grumiller, W. Kummer +1
In the s-wave approximation the 4D Einstein gravity with scalar fields can be reduced to an effective 2D dilaton gravity coupled nonminimally to the matter fields. We study the lea…
Multiple reflection expansion and heat kernel coefficients
M. Bordag, D. Vassilevich, H. Falomir +1
We propose the multiple reflection expansion as a tool for the calculation of heat kernel coefficients. As an example, we give the coefficients for a sphere as a finite sum over re…
