Abstract
We compute the scalar determinants on the two-dimensional round disks of constant curvature , , for any finite boundary length and mass , with Dirichlet boundary conditions, using the -function prescription. When , , a simple expression involving only elementary functions and the Euler function is found. Applications to two-dimensional Liouville and Jackiw-Teitelboim quantum gravity are presented in a separate paper.
