Abstract. We provide the small-time asymptotics of the heat kernel at the cut locus in three cases: generic Riemannian manifolds in dimension less or equal to 5, generic 3D contact and 4D quasi-contact sub-Riemannian manifolds (close to the starting point). As a byproduct we show that, for generic Riemannian manifolds of dimension less or equal to 5, the only possible singularities of the exponential map along a minimizing geodesic are A 3 and A 5 .

Nous établissons l’asymptotique en temps petit du noyau de la chaleur au lieu de coupure dans les situations génériques, en géométrie riemannienne en dimension inférieure ou égale à 5, en géométrie sous-riemannienne de contact en dimension 3 ou de quasi-contact en dimension 4. La preuve nous permet de montrer qu’en dimension inférieure ou égale à 5 les seules singularités d’une application exponentielle riemannienne générique qui peuvent apparaître le long d’une géodésique minimisante sont A 3 et A 5 .
