Abstract

A new covariant method for computing the coefficients in an asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel is suggested. The first two nontrivial coefficients for the second and fourth order minimal differential operators on a riemannian manifold are calculated in an arbitrary space dimension. The algorithmic character of the method suggested allows one to calculate the coefficients by computer using an analytical calculation system.
