Spectral Zeta Functions for a Cylinder and a Circle

Abstract

Spectral zeta functions ζ(s)\zeta(s) for the massless scalar fields obeying the Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions on a surface of an infinite cylinder are constructed. These functions are defined explicitly in a finite domain of the complex plane s containing the closed interval of real axis 1-1\le Re s0s \le 0. Proceeding from this the spectral zeta functions for the boundary conditions given on a circle (boundary value problem on a plane) are obtained without any additional calculations. The Casimir energy for the relevant field configurations is deduced.
