Let $L$ be a self-adjoint invertible operator in a Hilbert space such that $L^{-1}$ is $p$-summable. Under a certain discrete dimension spectrum assumption on $L$, we study the relation between the (regularized) Fredholm determinant,…

For an $m$-summable operator $A$ in a separable Hilbert space the higher regularized Fredholm determinant $\det\nolimits_m(I+A)$ generalizes the classical Fredholm determinant. Recently, Britz et al presented a proof of a product formula \[…

This paper is essentially a short version of hep-th/9404046. We compute multiplicative anomaly det(AB)/(detA detB) =F(A,B) for elliptic pseudo-differential operators (PDOs) A, B on a closed manifold M in terms of their symbols. We prove…

Determinants of invertible pseudo-differential operators (PDOs) close to positive self-adjoint ones are defined throughthe zeta-function regularization. We define a multiplicative anomaly as the ratio $\det(AB)/(\det(A)\det(B))$ considered…

In this paper, we show that the trace of the operators $A\eta(t\mathcal{L})$ where $A$ and $\mathcal {L}$ are classical pseudo-differential operators on a compact manifold $M$ and $\mathcal {L}$ is elliptic and self-adjoint admits an…

To supplement the already known classification of traces on classical pseudodifferential operators, we present a classification of traces on the algebras of odd-class pseudodifferential operators of non-positive order acting on smooth…

For trace class operators $A, B \in \mathcal{B}_1(\mathcal{H})$ ($\mathcal{H}$ a complex, separable Hilbert space), the product formula for Fredholm determinants holds in the familiar form \[ {\det}_{\mathcal{H}} ((I_{\mathcal{H}} - A)…

Observing that the logarithm of a product of two elliptic operators differs from the sum of the logarithms by a finite sum of operator brackets, we infer that regularised traces of this difference are local as finite sums of noncommutative…

Computing $\log\det(A)$ for large symmetric positive definite matrices arises in Gaussian process inference and Bayesian model comparison. Standard methods combine matrix-vector products with polynomial approximations. We study a different…

We consider fourth order ordinary differential operators with compactly supported coefficients on the half-line and on the line. The Fredholm determinant for this operator is an analytic function in the whole complex plane without zero. We…

After recalling a fundamental identity relating traces and modified Fredholm determinants, we apply it to a class of half-line Schr\"odinger operators $(- d^2/dx^2) + q$ on $(0,\infty)$ with purely discrete spectra. Roughly speaking, the…

The current work generalizes the author's previous work on the infinite-dimensional Alpha Log-Determinant (Log-Det) divergences and Alpha-Beta Log-Det divergences, defined on the set of positive definite unitized trace class operators on a…

Let X be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension two or three and let P be a point of X. We derive comparison formulas relating the zeta-regularized determinant of an arbitrary self-adjoint extension of (symmetric) Laplace operator with…

Given a II$_1$-factor $\mathcal{M}$ with tracial state $\tau$ and given an $\mathcal{M}$-bimodule $\mathcal{E}(\mathcal{M},\tau)$ of operators affiliated to $\mathcal{M}$ and a trace $\varphi$ on $\mathcal{E}(\mathcal{M},\tau)$, (namely, a…

For a particular class of integral operators $K$ we show that the quantity \[\ph:=\log \det (I+K)-\log \det (I-K)\] satisfies both the integrated mKdV hierarchy and the sinh-Gordon hierarchy. This proves a conjecture of Zamolodchikov.

In this work we consider the $\eta$-invariant for pseudodifferential operators of tensor product type, also called bisingular pseudodifferential operators. We study complex powers of classical bisingular operators. We prove the trace…

The purpose of this paper is to present the construction of a canonical determinant functional on elliptic pseudodifferential operators associated to the Guillemin-Wodzicki residue trace. The resulting functional is multiplicative, a local…
