Abstract
. We provide the small-time asymptotics of the heat kernel at the cut locus in three cases: generic Riemannian manifolds in dimension less or equal to 5, generic 3D contact and 4D quasi-contact sub-Riemannian manifolds (close to the starting point). As a byproduct we show that, for generic Riemannian manifolds of dimension less or equal to 5, the only possible singularities of the exponential map along a minimizing geodesic are A 3 and A 5 .
