When dealing with zeta-function regularized functional determinants of matrix valued differential operators, an additional term, overlooked until now and due to the multiplicative anomaly, may arise. The presence and physical relevance of…

In a recent work, T.S. Evans has claimed that the multiplicative anomaly associated with the zeta-function regularization of functional determinants is regularization dependent. We show that, if one makes use of consistent definitions, this…

In a recent work, S. Dowker has shed doubt on a recipe used in computing the partition function for a matrix valued operator. This recipe, advocated by Benson, Bernstein and Dodelson, leads naturally to the so called multiplicative anomaly…

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…

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…

The global additive and multiplicative properties of Laplace type operators acting on irreducible rank 1 symmetric spaces are considered. The explicit form of the zeta function on product spaces and of the multiplicative anomaly is derived.

Zeta-regularized determinants are well-known to fail to be multiplicative. Hence one is lead to study the n-fold multiplicative anomaly M_n(A_1,...,A_n) :=\frac{\det_\zeta\Big(\prod_{i=1}^n A_i\Big)}{\prod_{i=1}^n \det_\zeta(A_i)} attached…

The multiplicative anomaly associated with the zeta-function regularized determinant is computed for the Laplace-type operators $L_1=-\lap+V_1$ and $L_2=-\lap+V_2$, with $V_1$, $V_2$ constant, in a D-dimensional compact smooth manifold $…

The zeta function of a motive over a finite field is multiplicative with respect to the direct sum of motives. It has beautiful analytic properties, as were predicted by the Weil conjectures. There is also a multiplicative zeta function,…

We shed doubt on a commonly used manipulation in computing the partition function for a matrix valued operator together with its attendant invocation of the multiplicative anomaly.

If the zeta function regularization is used and a complex mass term considered for fermions, the phase does not appear in the fermion determinant. This is not a drawback of the regularization, which can recognize the phase through source…

By restricting the variables running over various (possibly different) subfields, we introduce the notion of a partial zeta function. We prove that the partial zeta function is rational in an interesting case, generalizing Dwork's well…

Using elementary methods we find surprising connections between the values of the Riemann Zeta Function over integers and the fractional parts of rational powers, and a connection between the Riemann Zeta Function and the Prime Zeta…

We consider the resolvent of a system of first order differential operators with a regular singularity, admitting a family of self-adjoint extensions. We find that the asymptotic expansion for the resolvent in the general case presents…

We show that the Szego regularized determinant of a zeroth order operator differs from the zeta regularized determinant of the same operator by a local term. In addition, we compute multiplicative anomalies for the zeta regularized…
