Denoting by $\Delta_\nu$ the Fubini-Study Laplacian perturbed by a uniform magnetic field strength proportional to $\nu$, this operator has a discrete spectrum consisting on eigenvalues $\beta_m, \ m\in\mathbb{Z}_+$, when acting on bounded functions of the complex projective $n$-space. For the corresponding eigenspaces, we give a new proof for their reproducing kernels by using Zaremba's expansion directly. These kernels are then used to obtain an integral representation for the heat kernel of $\Delta_\nu$. Using a suitable polynomial decomposition of the multiplicity of each $\beta_m$, we write down a trace formula for the heat operator associated with $\Delta_\nu$ in terms of Jacobi's theta functions and their higher order derivatives. Doing so enables us to establish the asymptotics of this trace as $t\searrow 0^+$ by giving the corresponding heat coefficients in terms of Bernoulli numbers and polynomials. The obtained results can be exploited in the analysis of the spectral zeta function associated with $\Delta_\nu$.
