Heat trace asymptotics with transmittal boundary conditions and quantum brane world scenario
Jan, 2001Citations per year
Abstract:
We study the spectral geometry of an operator of Laplace type on a manifold with a singular surface. We calculate several first coefficients of the heat kernel expansion. These coefficients are responsible for divergences and conformal anomaly in quantum brane-world scenario.Note:
