Abstract: This paper investigates connections between the long-time asymptotics of heat distribution on a body $\Omega$ in $Z^n$, and various geometric properties of $\Omega$, starting from an initially constant heat distribution supported on $\Omega$. We use combinatorial and differential geometric methods. We begin the paper with a result in $R^n$.
