The spectral functionΘ(t)=∑i=1∞exp(−tλj), where{λj}j=1∞are the eigenvalues of the negative Laplace-Beltrami operator−Δ, is studied for a compact Riemannian manifoldΩof dimension “k” with a smooth boundary∂Ω, where a finite number of piecewise impedance boundary conditions(∂∂ni+γi)u=0on the parts∂Ωi(i=1,…,m)of the boundary∂Ωcan be considered, such that∂Ω=∪i=1m∂Ωi, andγi(i=1,…,m)are assumed to be smooth functions which are not strictly positive.

The spectral function $\Theta(t)=\sum_{\nu=1}^\infty \exp(-t\lambda_\nu)$, where $\{\lambda_\nu\}_{\nu=1}^\infty$ are the eigenvalues of the negative Laplacian $-\nabla^2=-\sum_{i=1}^3(\frac{\partial}{\partial x_i})^2$ in the $(x^1, x^2, x^3)$-space, is studied for an arbitrary doubly connected bounded domain $\Omega$ in $R^3$ together with its smooth inner bounding surface $\tilde S_1$ and its smooth outer bounding surface $\tilde S_2$, where piecewise smooth impedance boundary conditions on the parts $S_1^*$, $S_2^*$ of $\tilde S_1$ and $S_3^*$, $S_4^*$ of $\tilde S_2$ are considered, such that $\tilde S_1=S_1^*\cup S_2^*$ and $\tilde S_2=S_3^*\cup S_4^*$.

The spectral functionθ(t)=∑m=1∞exp(−tλm),t>0where{λm}m=1∞are the eigenvalues of the Laplacian inRn,n=2or3, is studied for a variety of domains. Particular attention is given to circular and spherical domains with the impedance boundary conditions∂u∂r+γju=0onΓj(orSj),j=1,…,JwhereΓjandSj,j=1,…,Jare parts of the boundaries of these domains respectively, whileγj,j=1,…,Jare positive constants.

Let P be an operator of Dirac type on a compact Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary. We impose spectral boundary conditions and study the asymptotics of the heat trace of the associated operator of Laplace type.

AbstractThe spectral function , where are the eigenvalues of the two-dimensional Laplacian, is studied for a variety of domains. The dependence of θ(t) on the connectivity of a domain and the impedance boundary conditions is analysed. Particular attention is given to a doubly-connected region together with the impedance boundary conditions on its boundaries.
