Let $M$ be a finite volume, non-compact hyperbolic Riemann surface, possibly with elliptic fixed points, and let $\chi$ denote a finite dimensional unitary representation of the fundamental group of $M$. Let $\Delta$ denote the hyperbolic…
The global additive and multiplicative properties of the Laplacian on j-forms and related zeta functions are analyzed. The explicit form of zeta functions on a product of closed oriented hyperbolic manifolds \Gamma\backslash{\Bbb H}^d and…
We compute the one-loop effective action and the conformal anomaly associated with the product $\bigotimes_p{\cal L}_p$ of the Laplace type operators ${\cal L}_p, p=1,2$, acting in irreducible rank 1 symmetric spaces of non-compact type.…
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…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of regularized determinants of certain Laplace type operators with respect to singular deformations of the underlying manifold which are obtained by stretching a tubular neighborhood of an embedded…
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…
We prove the regularity of the $\eta$ function for classical pseudodifferential operators with Shubin symbols. We recall the construction of complex powers and of the Wodzicki and Kontsevich-Vishik functionals for classical symbols on…

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…
We describe a highly efficient numerical scheme for finding two-sided bounds for the eigenvalues of the fractional Laplace operator (-Delta)^{alpha/2} in the unit ball D in R^d, with a Dirichlet condition in the complement of D. The…
The functional determinant of an elliptic operator with positive, discrete spectrum may be defined as $e^{-Z'(0)}$, where $Z(s)$, the zeta function, is the sum $\sum_n^{\infty} \lambda_n^{-s}$ analytically continued to $s$ around the…
