Diagram technique for the heat kernel of the covariant Laplace operator
A. V. Ivanov St. Petersburg Department of Steklov Mathematical Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia
Abstract:
We present a diagram technique used to calculate the Seeley–DeWitt coefficients for a covariant Laplace operator. We use the combinatorial properties of the coefficients to construct a matrix formalism and derive a formula for an arbitrary coefficient.
Keywords:
heat kernel, Seeley–DeWitt coefficient, gauge connection, diagram technique, operator determinant, covariant Laplace operator, Yang–Mills theory.
