Spectral geometry on manifolds with fibred boundary metrics. II: Heat kernel asymptotics

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper we continue the analysis of spectral problems in the setting of complete manifolds with fibred boundary metrics, also referred to as phi-metrics, as initiated in our previous work. We consider the Hodge Laplacian for a phi-metric and construct the corresponding heat kernel as a polyhomogeneous conormal distribution on an appropriate manifold with corners. Our discussion is a generalization of an earlier work by Albin and Sher, and provides a fundamental first step towards analysis of Ray-Singer torsion, eta-invariants and index theorems in the setting.


In this paper, the authors continue with the analysis of spectral problems in the setting of complete manifolds with fibred boundary metrics, referred to as \(\phi\)-metrics (for Part I, see [the authors with \textit{D. Grieser}, ``Spectral geometry on manifolds with fibred boundary metrics. I: Low energy resolvent, Preprint, \url{arXiv:2009.10125}]). They consider the Hodge Laplacian for a \(\phi\)-metric and construct the corresponding heat kernel as a polyhomogeneous conormal distribution on an appropriate manifold with corners. Their discussion provides a fundamental first step towards analysis of Ray-Singer torsion, eta-invariants and index theorems in the setting.
