We construct spectral zeta functions for the Dirac operator on metric graphs. We start with the case of a rose graph, a graph with a single vertex where every edge is a loop. The technique is then developed to cover any finite graph with…
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…

We consider Sturm-Liouville operators on a half line $[a,\infty), a>0$, with potentials that are growing at most quadratically at infinity. Such operators arise naturally in the analysis of hyperbolic manifolds, or more generally manifolds…
In this work we study the determinant of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on rectangular tori of unit area. We will see that the square torus gives the extremal determinant within this class of tori. The result is established by studying…
We investigate the behaviour of the regularized determinant of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on compact hyperbolic surfaces when the genus goes to infinity. We show that for all popular models of random surfaces, with high probability as…

We compute the relative zeta-function metric on the determinant line bundle for a family of elliptic boundary value problems of Dirac-type. To do this we prove a general formula relating the zeta-determinant to a Fredholm determinant over…
Continuum limits of Laplace operators on general lattices are considered, and it is shown that these operators converge to elliptic operators on the Euclidean space in the sense of the generalized norm resolvent convergence. We then study…
