By means of the Cole-Hopf transformation, the singularities of the solutions are related to zeros of complex-valued solutions of the heat equation. We prove that such zeros are isolated if they are not present in the initial data.16 pagesAnalysis of PDEsZeros of complex caloric functions and singularities of complex viscous Burgers equationtext
