Multivariate versions of Mercer's Theorem and the usual expansions of the resolvent and Fredholm determinant are shown to hold for an n × n symmetric kernel N(x, y) with arbitrary domain in Rp under weakened continuity conditions. Further, the resolvent and determinant of N(x, y) − a(x)b(y) are given in terms of those of N(x, y).
