Abstract
Let be a compact polyhedral surface (a compact Riemann surface with flat conformal metric having conical singularities). The -function of the Friedrichs Laplacian on is meromorphic in with a single simple pole at . We define as . We derive an explicit expression for this spectral invariant through the holomorphic invariants of the Riemann surface and the (generalized) divisor of the conical points of the metric . We study the asymptotics of for the polyhedron obtained by sewing two other polyhedra along segments of small length. In addition, we calculate for a family of (non-Friedrichs) self-adjoint extensions of the Laplacian on the tetrahedron with all the conical angles equal to .
