We generalize earlier studies on the Laplacian for a bounded open domain $\Omega\in \real^2$ with connected complement and piecewise smooth boundary. We compare it with the quantum mechanical scattering operator for the exterior of this…

The Hurwitz space is the moduli space of pairs $(X,f)$ where $X$ is a compact Riemann surface and $f$ is a meromorphic function on $X$. We study the Laplace operator $\Delta^{|df|^2}$ of the flat singular Riemannian manifold $(X,|df|^2)$.…

In this paper we discuss the BFK type gluing formula for zeta-determinants of Laplacians with respect to the Robin boundary condition on a compact Riemannian manifold. As a special case, we discuss the gluing formula with respect to the…

The Laplace operator acting on antisymmetric tensor fields in a $D$--dimensional Euclidean ball is studied. Gauge-invariant local boundary conditions (absolute and relative ones, in the language of Gilkey) are considered. The eigenfuctions…

The odd signature operator is a Dirac operator which acts on the space of differential forms of all degrees and whose square is the usual Laplacian. We extend the result of [15] to prove the gluing formula of the zeta-determinants of…

Compact polyhedral surfaces (or, equivalently, compact Riemann surfaces with conformal flat conical metrics) of an arbitrary genus are considered. After giving a short self-contained survey of their basic spectral properties, we study the…

We study the Dirac and the Laplacian operators on orientable Riemann surfaces of arbitrary genus g. In particular we compute their determinants with twisted boundary conditions along the b-cycles. All the ingredients of the final results…

We consider a regular singular Sturm-Liouville operator $L:=-\frac{d^2}{dx^2} + \frac{q(x)}{x^2 (1-x)^2}$ on the line segment $[0,1]$. We impose certain boundary conditions such that we obtain a semi-bounded self-adjoint operator. It is…

A Hermite type formula is introduced and used to study the zeta function over the real and complex n-projective space. This approach allows to compute the residua at the poles and the value at the origin as well as the value of the…

Let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle on a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$. If we fix a metric $h$ on $E$, we get a Laplace operator $\Delta$ acting upon smooth sections of $E$ over $X$. Using the zeta function of $\Delta$, one defines its…

We study the spectral zeta functions of the Laplacian on fractal sets which are locally self-similar fractafolds, in the sense of Strichartz. These functions are known to meromorphically extend to the entire complex plane, and the locations…

We obtain explicit expressions for the determinants of the Laplacians on zero and one forms for an infinite class of three dimensional lens spaces $L(p,q)$. These expressions can be combined to obtain the Ray-Singer torsion of these lens…
