A fundamental object in the theory of arithmetic surfaces is the Green's function associated to the canonical metric. Previous expressions for the canonical Green's function have relied on general functional analysis or, when using specific properties of the canonical metric, the classical Riemann theta function. In this article, we derive a new identity for the canonical Green's function involving the hyperbolic heat kernel. As an application of our results, we obtain bounds for the canonical Green's function through covers and for families of modular curves.
