Small time heat kernel asymptotics at the cut locus on surfaces of revolution
Annales de l'I.H.P. Analyse non linéaire, Tome 31 (2014) no. 2, pp. 281-295.

In this paper we investigate the small time heat kernel asymptotics on the cut locus on a class of surfaces of revolution, which are the simplest two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds different from the sphere with non-trivial cut-conjugate locus. We determine the degeneracy of the exponential map near a cut-conjugate point and present the consequences of this result to the small time heat kernel asymptotics at this point. These results give a first example where the minimal degeneration of the asymptotic expansion at the cut locus is attained.
