Let M be a compact, connected, Riemannian manifold of dimension d, let fPt : t > 0g denote the Markov semigroups on C (M) determined by 1 2 , and let pt (x; y) denote the kernel (with respect to the Riemannian volume measure) for the operator Pt. (The existence of this kernel as a positive, smooth function is well-known, see e.g. D].) Bismut's celebrated formula, presented in B], equates r log ...

In a recent paper [3], Y. Cao and Y. Xu established the Galerkin method for weakly singular Fredholm integral equations that preserves the singularity of the solution. Their Galerkin method provides a numerical solution that is a linear combination of a certain class of basis functions which includes elements that reflect the singularity of the solution. The purpose of this paper is to extend t...

We give a complete classification and present new exotic phenomena of the meromorphic structure of ζ-functions associated to general selfadjoint extensions of Laplace-type operators over conic manifolds. We show that the meromorphic extensions of these ζ-functions have, in general, countably many logarithmic branch cuts on the nonpositive real axis and unusual locations of poles with arbitraril...

We discuss how the multi-Regge factorisation of QCD amplitudes can be used in the study of multi-jet processes at colliders. We describe how the next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) BFKL evolution can be combined with energy and momentum conservation. By recalculating the quark contribution to the next-to-leading logarithmic corrections to the BFKL kernel we can study several properties of the NLL...

The Riemannian metric on the manifold of positive de nite matrices is de ned by a kernel function in the formK D(H;K) = P i;j ( i; j) TrPiHPjK when P i iPi is the spectral decomposition of the foot point D and the Hermitian matrices H;K are tangent vectors. For such kernel metrics the tangent space has an orthogonal decomposition. The pull-back of a kernel metric under a mapping D 7! G(D) is a ...

The Riemannian metric on the manifold of positive definite matrices is defined by a kernel function φ in the form K D(H,K) = ∑ i,j φ(λi, λj) −1TrPiHPjK when ∑ i λiPi is the spectral decomposition of the foot point D and the Hermitian matrices H,K are tangent vectors. For such kernel metrics the tangent space has an orthogonal decomposition. The pull-back of a kernel metric under a mapping D 7→ ...
