Zeta-Function Regularization is Uniquely Defined and Well

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

Hawking's zeta function regularization procedure is shown to be rigorously and uniquely defined, thus putting and end to the spreading lore about different difficulties associated with it. Basic misconceptions, misunderstandings and errors which keep appearing in important scientific journals when dealing with this beautiful regularization method ---and other analytical procedures--- are clarified and corrected.
