arXiv:hep-th/9803113
Year: 1998
Description

Heat kernel coefficients encode the short distance 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.
