It is shown that the functional determinant ($\sim$ effective action) for a scalar field propagating on the mixed signature product of unit spheres, S$^q\times$S$^p$, according to the GJMS operator, depends, if $d$ is odd, only on $d=p+q$…
Results of a general study on the dynamics of cosmological scalar fields with arbitrary potentials are presented. Exact and approximate attractor solutions are found, with applications to quintessence, moduli stabilization and inflation.
We consider a scalar-valued implicit function of many variables, and provide two closed formulae for all of its partial derivatives. One formula is based on products of partial derivatives of the defining function, the other one involves…

Recurrences for positive definite functions in terms of the space dimension have been used in several fields of applications. Such recurrences typically relate to properties of the system of special functions characterizing the geometry of…

An expression for the functional determinant on a sphere for a massive (scalar) field derived by Denef, Hartnoll and Sachdev using quasinormal modes is shown to exist already in the literature together with the multiplicative anomaly…
A general method of finding functional determinants is presented that depends on the asymptotic behaviour of the resolvent. Its application to the case of a bounded trihedral corner for which the eigenvalues are known only implicitly is…

In this contribution we first summarize how contour integration methods can be used to derive closed formulae for functional determinants of ordinary differential operators. We then generalize our considerations to partial differential…
Sharp upper and lower bounds for the second and third order Hermitian-Toepilitz determinants are obtained for some generalized subclasses of starlike and convex functions. Applications of these results are also discussed for several widely…

Positive definite functions of compact support are widely used for radial basis function approximation as well as for estimation of spatial processes in geostatistics. Several constructions of such functions for ${\mathbb R}^d$ are based…
We derive simple expressions to regularise functional determinants from fluctuations of fields with spin 0, 1/2, and 1. These are important for the precise dimensionful determination of false vacuum decay rates. We work in $D = 4$ Euclidean…
In this paper the spectrum of composition operators on the space of real analytic functions is investigated. In some cases it is completely determined while in some other cases it is only estimated.
A discrete Fourier analysis associated with translation lattices is developed recently by the authors. It permits two lattices, one determining the integral domain and the other determining the family of exponential functions. Possible…
