In this note we investigate the nonelliptic differential expression A=-div sgn grad on a rectangular domain in the plane. The seemingly simple problem to associate a selfadjoint operator with the differential expression A in an L^2 setting…
We study the adjointness problem for the closed extensions of a general b-elliptic operator A in x^{-\nu}Diff^m_b(M;E), \nu>0, initially defined as an unbounded operator A:C_c^\infty(M;E)\subset x^\mu L^2_b(M;E)\to x^\mu L^2_b(M;E), \mu \in…

We studied an enhanced adjoint action of the general linear group on a product of its Lie algebra and a vector space consisting of several copies of defining representations and its duals. We determined regular semisimple orbits (i.e.,…

We give an elementary combinatorial proof of Bass's determinant formula for the zeta function of a finite regular graph. This is done by expressing the number of non-backtracking cycles of a given length in terms of Chebychev polynomials in…
We use Krein formula and the S-matrix formalism to give formulas for the zeta-regularized determinant of non-Friedrichs extensions of the Laplacian on Euclidean surfaces with Conical Singularities. This formula involves S(0) and we show…
Motivated by AdS/CFT, the extension is made to spin-half of a scalar calculation of the conformal anomalies and functional determinants of GJMS operators. The formal aspects are heuristic but sufficient. A Barnes zeta function…
For a commutative quantale $\mathcal{V}$, the category $\mathcal{V}-cat$ can be perceived as a category of generalised metric spaces and non-expanding maps. We show that any type constructor $T$ (formalised as an endofunctor on sets) can be…

The zeta and eta-functions associated with massless and massive Dirac operators, in a D-dimensional (D odd or even) manifold without boundary, are rigorously constructed. Several mathematical subtleties involved in this process are…
For the example of the infinitely deep well potential, we point out some paradoxes which are solved by a careful analysis of what is a truly self-adjoint operator. We then describe the self-adjoint extensions and their spectra for the…
