The heat kernel on an asymptotically conic manifold

David A. Sher

Vol. 6 (2013), No. 7, 1755–1791
Abstract

We investigate the long-time structure of the heat kernel on a Riemannian manifold M that is asymptotically conic near infinity. Using geometric microlocal analysis and building on results of Guillarmou and Hassell, we give a complete description of the asymptotic structure of the heat kernel in all spatial and temporal regimes. We apply this structure to define and investigate a renormalized zeta function and determinant of the Laplacian on M.

Keywords
