We calculate the 1-loop effective potential in a supersymmetric model in 5D with $S^1/(Z_2\times Z_2)$ orbifold compactification. The procedure of calculation consists of evaluating first the integrals over four-momenta using the…
We study functionals of the form \[\zeta_{t}=\int_0^{t}...\int_0^{t} | X_1(s_1)+...+ X_p(s_p)|^{-\sigma}ds_1... ds_p\] where $X_1(t),..., X_p(t)$ are i.i.d. $d$-dimensional symmetric stable processes of index $0<\bb\le 2$. We obtain results…
We study existence and regularity of weak solutions for the following $p$-Laplacian system \begin{cases} -\Delta_p u+A\varphi^{\theta+1}|u|^{r-2}u=f, \ &u\in W_0^{1,p}(\Omega),\\-\Delta_p \varphi=|u|^r\varphi^\theta, \ &\varphi\in…
Let $X$ be an orbisurface, meaning a compact hyperbolic Riemann surface possibly with a finite number of elliptic points, and let $X_1$ denote its unit tangent bundle. We consider the twisted Selberg zeta function $Z(s;\rho)$ associated to…
Let P be a selfadjoint elliptic operator of order m>0 acting on the sections of a Hermitian vector bundle over a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension n. General arguments show that its zeta and eta functions may have poles only at…
In this paper some quite simple examples of applications of the zeta-function regularization to superstring theories are presented. It is shown that the Virasoro anomaly in the BRST formulation of (super)strings can be directly computed…
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…
We study the interplay between recurrences for zeta related functions at integer values, `Minor Corner Lattice' Toeplitz determinants and integer composition based sums. Our investigations touch on functional identities due to Ramanujan and…
We present a new multiparameter resolvent trace expansion for elliptic operators, polyhomogeneous in both the resolvent and auxiliary variables. For elliptic operators on closed manifolds the expansion is a simple consequence of the…
In Part I of this series of papers we have described a general formalism to compute the vacuum effects of a scalar field via local (or global) zeta regularization. In the present Part II we exemplify the general formalism in a number of…
The paper continues the analysis started in [Cora-Fioravanti-Vita-25,Fioravanti-24] on the local regularity theory for elliptic equations having coefficients which are degenerate or singular on some lower dimensional manifold. The model…
In $L_2({\mathbb R}^d;{\mathbb C}^n)$, we consider a selfadjoint operator ${\mathcal B}_\varepsilon$, $0< \varepsilon \leqslant 1$, given by the differential expression $b({\mathbf D})^* g({\mathbf x}/\varepsilon)b({\mathbf D}) +…
We consider self-adjoint extensions of differential operators of the type $ (-\frac{d^2}{dr^2} + \frac{l(l+1)}{r^2})^3 $ on the real semi-axis for l=1,2 with two kinds of boundary conditions: first that nullify the value of a function and…
Dynamical zeta functions are expected to relate the Schr\"odinger operator's spectrum to the periodic orbits of the corresponding fully chaotic Hamiltonian system. The relationsship is exact in the case of surfaces of constant negative…
Recent work in the literature has studied fourth-order elliptic operators on manifolds with boundary. This paper proves that, in the case of the squared Laplace operator, the boundary conditions which require that the eigenfunctions and…
For any orientable compact surface with boundary, we compute the regularized determinant of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DN) map in terms of particular values of dynamical zeta functions by using natural uniformizations, one due to…

The functional determinant multiplicative anomaly, or defect, is more closely investigated and explicit forms for products of linear operators are produced. I also present formulae for the defect of products of second order operators in…
Zeta functions of periodic cubical lattices are explicitly derived by computing all the eigenvalues of the adjacency operators and their characteristic polynomials. We introduce cyclotomic-like polynomials to give factorization of the zeta…
