The Ubiquitous Heat Kernel: AMS Special Session, the Ubiquitous Heat Kernel, October 2-4, 2003, Boulder, Colorado (Contemporary Mathematics)

The aim of this volume is to bring together research ideas from various fields of mathematics which utilize the heat kernel or heat kernel techniques in their research. The intention of this collection of papers is to broaden productive communication across mathematical sub-disciplines and to provide a vehicle which would allow experts in one field to initiate research with individuals in another field, as well as to give non-experts a resource which can facilitate expanding their research and connecting with others.
