HeatK: A Mathematica Program for Computing Heat Kernel Coefficients
Abstract
Description
Heat kernel coefficients encode the short distance behavior of propagators in the presence of background fields, and are thus useful in quantum field theory. We present a Mathematica program for computing these coefficients and their derivatives, based on an algorithm by Avramidi\cite{Avramidi:npb91}. See http://fermi.pha.jhu.edu/~booth/HeatK/ for source and examples.
