Heat kernels on forms defined on a subgraph of a complete graph

We study the heat kernel expansion of the Laplacian on n-forms defined on a subgraph of a directed complete graph. We derive two expressions for the subgraph heat kernel on 0-forms and compute the coefficients of the expansion. We also obtain the subgraph heat kernel of the Laplacian on 1-forms.
