A brief survey of the zeta function regularization and multiplicative anomaly issues when the associated zeta function of fluctuation operator is the regular at the origin (regular case) as well as when it is singular at the origin…
The multiplicative anomaly related to the functional regularized determinants involving products of elliptic operators is introduced and some of its properties discussed. Its relevance concerning the mathematical consistency is stressed.…
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…
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.
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…
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 $…
In the framework leading to the multiplicative anomaly formula ---which is here proven to be valid even in cases of known spectrum but non-compact manifold (very important in Physics)--- zeta-function regularisation techniques are shown to…
In this paper, the problem of multiplicative anomaly of zeta regularization is solved for polynomials. For a regularizable sequence $\Lambda$, we explicitly calculate the zeta regularized product of $(\Lambda-z_1)\dots(\Lambda-z_n)$ for…
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…
It is well-known that the Riemann zeta function does not satisfy any exact polynomial differential equation. Here we present numerical evidence for the existence of approximate polynomial dependencies between the values of the alternating…
Elizalde, Vanzo, and Zerbini have shown that the effective action of two free Euclidean scalar fields in flat space contains a `multiplicative anomaly' when zeta-function regularization is used. This is related to the Wodzicki residue. I…
It is known that not all summation methods are linear and stable. Zeta function regularization is in general non-linear. However, in some cases formal manipulations with "zeta function" regularization (assuming linearity of sums) lead to…
In the framework of a gauge invariant continuous and non-perturbative regularization scheme based on the smearing of point like interactions by means of cutoff functions, we show that the axial anomaly, though cutoff independent, depends on…
After a brief survey of zeta function regularization issues and of the related multiplicative anomaly, illustrated with a couple of basic examples, namely the harmonic oscillator and quantum field theory at finite temperature, an…
Two multiplicative anomalies are evaluated for the determinant of the conformal higher spin propagating operator on spheres given by Tseytlin. One holds for the decomposition of the higher derivative product into its individual second order…
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…
Standard zeta function regularisation enforces a scale-independent prescription for spectral aggregation, effectively fixing the relative weight of spectral contributions. We relax this constraint by replacing the derivative at $s=0$ with a…
We consider a variant expression to regularize the Euler product representation of the zeta functions, where we mainly apply to that of the Riemann zeta function in this paper. The regularization itself is identical to that of the zeta…
