Using geometric microlocal analysis and building on results of Guillarmou and Hassell on the low-energy resolvent, we give a complete description of the asymptotic structure of the heat kernel in all spatial and temporal regimes. We apply this structure to define and investigate a renormalized zeta function and determinant of the Laplacian on M.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-03-01T02:49:22.000Z", "comment": "35 pages, 10 figures.
