Abstract: We derive the asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel for a Laplace operator acting on deformed spheres. We calculate the coefficients of the heat kernel expansion on two- and three-dimensional deformed spheres as functions of deformation parameters. We find that under some deformation the conformal anomaly for free scalar fields on $R^{4}imesilde{S}^2$ and $R^{6}imesilde{S}^2$ is canceled.
