Abstract: Let $Omeg{a}_0$ be a polygon in $R{R}^2$, or more generally a compact surface with piecewise smooth boundary and corners. Suppose that $Omeg{a}_e$ is a family of surfaces with $cal{C}^{i}nfty$ boundary which converges to $Omeg{a}_0$ smoothly away from the corners, and in a precise way at the vertices to be described in the paper. Fedosov cite{Fe}, Kac cite{K} and McKean-Singer cite{MS} recognized that certain heat trace coefficients, in particular the coefficient of $t^0$, are not continuous as $esearrow0$. We describe this anomaly using renormalized heat invariants of an auxiliary smooth domain $Z$ which models the corner formation. The result applies both for Dirichlet and Neumann conditions. We also include a discussion of what one might expect in higher dimensions.
