We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Divergence terms in the supertrace heat asymptotics for the de Rham complex on a manifold with boundary
Peter B. Gilkey, Klaus Kirsten and Dmitri Vassilevich
Abstract
We use invariance theory to determine the coefficient $a_{m+1,m}^{d+\delta}$ in the super trace for the twisted de Rham complex with absolute boundary conditions.
