The spatial Friedrichs heat kernel, relative to , is

On every compact regular spatial set ,

Every compact smooth spatial section belongs to , continuously in the fixed-support test topology.

Proof. The radial Friedrichs transform uses . Weber's integral

gives (eq:heat) after the angular normalization and longitudinal heat kernel are included Watson,CheungIBG. For bounded and , the Bessel power series gives

The orders grow linearly in , so their sum is bounded by a constant times . This proves (eq:heatbound).

The spectral identity

is finite: on use the contraction bound ; on use (eq:heatbound) and . The large- integrand is . These bounds also prove continuity. There is no zero eigenfunction, since zero form energy would give a parallel section, which cannot be square integrable on .
