In the language of $L^\infty$-modules proposed by Gigli, we introduce a first order calculus on a topological Lusin measure space $(M,\mathfrak{m})$ carrying a quasi-regular, strongly local Dirichlet form $\mathscr{E}$. Furthermore, we…
We study discrete (duality) symmetries of functional determinants. An exact transformation of the effective action under the inversion of background fields $\beta (x) \to \beta^{-1}(x)$ is found. We show that in many cases this inversion…
We define two-dimensional Dirichlet spectrum (with respect to Euclidean norm) as D_2=\lambda\in\mathbf{R} | \exists \mathbf{v}=(v_1,v_2)\in \mathbf {R}^2: \limsup\limits_{t\rightarrow\infty} {t\cdot\psi_{v}^2(t)}=\lambda, where…
We study the zeta-function regularization of functional determinants of Laplace and Dirac-type operators in two-dimensional Euclidean $AdS_2$ space. More specifically, we consider the ratio of determinants between an operator in the…

In [1,2] we established and discussed the algebra of observables for $2+1$ gravity at both the classical and quantum level, and gave a systematic discussion of the reduction of the expected number of independent observables to $6g - 6 (g >…

The scalar curvature for the noncommutative four torus $\mathbb{T}_\Theta^4$, where its flat geometry is conformally perturbed by a Weyl factor, is computed by making the use of a noncommutative residue that involves integration over the…
The Dirichlet characters of reduced residue systems modulo m are tabulated for moduli m <= 195. The associated L-series are tabulated for m <= 14 and small positive integer argument s accurate to 10^(-50), their first derivatives for m <=…
Functional determinants for the scalar Laplacian on spherical caps and slices, flat balls, shells and generalised cylinders are evaluated in two, three and four dimensions using conformal techniques. Both Dirichlet and Robin boundary…
We perform a non-perturbative sum over geometries in a (2+1)-dimensional quantum gravity model given in terms of Causal Dynamical Triangulations. Inspired by the concept of triangulations of product type introduced previously, we impose an…
The formulation of two-dimensional quantum gravity at finite cutoff remains an open problem. We revisit this question in JT gravity from two perspectives: the closed-channel bulk path integral and the path integral over boundary curves.…
We consider a quantum scalar field in a classical (Euclidean) De Sitter background, whose radius is fixed dynamically by Einstein's equations. In the case of a free scalar, it has been shown by Becker and Reuter that if one regulates the…
We provide efficient methods to evaluate the Riemann zeta, the Lerch zeta and the Dirichlet $L$-functions. The method uses the Riemann-Siegel (RS) type formulas and a modified double exponential (MDE) quadrature method near the saddle point…
Let $X$ be a Riemann surface of genus $g\ge 1$ endowed with a flat conical metric $m$ and let ${\rm det}\,\Delta$ be the $\zeta$-regularized determinant of the Friedrichs Laplacian on $(X,m)$. We derive variational formulas for ${\rm…
Given a three dimensional pseudo-Einstein CR manifold $(M,T^{1,0}M,\theta)$, we establish an expression for the difference of determinants of the Paneitz type operators $A_{\theta}$, related to the problem of prescribing the $Q'$-curvature,…

We calculate accurate eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Schr\"odinger equation for a two-dimensional quantum dipole. This model proved useful for the study of elastic effects of a single edge dislocation. We show that the Rayleigh-Ritz…
We study and solve the Dirichlet problem for graphs of prescribed mean curvature in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ over general domains $\Omega$ without requiring a mean convexity assumption. By using pieces of nodoids as barriers we first give…
