Abstract
We present a method for the calculation of the a(3/2) heat kernel coefficie nt of the heat operator trace for a partial differential operator of Laplac e type on a compact Riemannian manifold with oblique boundary conditions. U sing special case evaluations, restrictions are put on the general form of the coefficients, which, supplemented by conformal transformation technique s, allows the entire smeared coefficient to be determined.
