Abstract: In this paper we prove a rationality phenomena for the coefficients of the heat kernel expansion of the Dirac-Laplacian of Bianchi IX cosmological models. Due the complexities arising from the anisotropic nature of the model, we present a novel method of writing the heat coefficients as Wodzicki resiudes of certain Laplacians and then provide an elegant proof of the rationality result. That is, we show that each coefficient is described by a several variable polynomial with rational coefficients of the cosmic expansion factors and their higher derivatives of a certain order. This result confirms the arithmetic nature of the complicated terms in the expansion.
