Spectral geometry of surfaces with curved conic singularities

Year: 2017
Type: preprint
Abstract: Let $(M,g)$ be a surface with Riemannian metric and curved conic singularities. More precisely, a neighbourhood of a singularity is isometric to $(0,1)\times S^1$ with metric $g_{\text{conic}}=dr^2+f(r)^2dθ^2, r\in(0,1)$. We study the spectral geometry of $(M,g)$ using the heat trace expansion. We express the first few terms in the expansion through the geometry of the singularities. The constant term contains information about the angle at the tip of the cone. The next term, $bt^{1/2}$, is expressed through the curvature and the angle at the tip of the cone.
