Abstract: For a given bounded domain $Omegasubset{BbbR}^n$ with smooth boundary, we explicitly calculate the first two coefficients of the asymptotic expansion of the heat trace associated with the Stokes operator as $to{0}^{+}$. These coefficients (i.e., heat invariants) provide precise information for the volume of the domain $Omega$ and the surface area of the boundary $partialOmega$ in terms of the spectrum of the Stokes problem. As an application, we show that an $n$-dimensional ball is uniquely defined by its Stokes spectrum among all Euclidean bounded domains with smooth boundary.
