Spectral zeta function on pseudo \(H\)-type nilmanifolds (Q308229): Difference between revisions

From the authors' abstract: ``We explain the explicit integral form of the heat kernel for the sub-Laplacian on two step nilpotent Lie groups \(G\) based on the work of Beals, Gaveau and Greiner. Using such an integral form we study the heat trace of the sub-Laplacian on nilmanifolds \(L\) \(\backslash \) \( G\) where \(L\) is a lattice. As an application, a common property of the spectral zeta function for the sub-Laplacian on \(L\) \(\backslash \) \(G\) is observed. In particular, we introduce a special class of nilpotent Lie groups, called pseudo \(H\)-type groups which are generalizations of groups previously considered by Kaplan.
