Abstract
The spectral function μˆ(t)=∑j=1∞exp(−itμj1/2), where {μj}j=1∞ are the eigenvalues of the two-dimensional negative Laplacian, is studied
for small |t| for a variety of domains, where −∞<t<∞ and i=−1. The dependencies of μˆ(t) on the connectivity of a domain and the Robin boundary
conditions are analyzed. Particular attention is given to an
arbitrary multiply-connected drum in ℝ2 together with
Robin boundary conditions on its boundaries.
