As an application we determine the mean and almost-sure leading order behaviour of the high frequency asymptotics of the eigenvalue counting function associated with the natural Dirichlet form on the continuum random tree. We also obtain short time asymptotics for the trace of the heat semigroup and the annealed on-diagonal heat kernel associated with this Dirichlet form.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-10-23T10:49:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "continuum random tree", "spectral asymptotics", "finite self-similar fractal", "on-diagonal heat kernel", "self-similarity" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1210.6190C" } } }
