Hawking's zeta function regularization procedure is shown to be rigorously and uniquely defined, thus putting and end to the spreading lore about different difficulties associated with it. Basic misconceptions, misunderstandings and errors…

This article describes a sequence of rational functions which converges locally uniformly to the zeta function. The numerators (and denominators) of these rational functions can be expressed as characteristic polynomials of matrices that…

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…

Explicit expressions for the expectation values and the variances of some observables, which are bilinear quantities in the quantum fields on a D-dimensional manifold, are derived making use of zeta function regularization. It is found that…

We prove an equivalent of the Riemann hypothesis in terms of the functional equation (in its asymmetrical form) and the $a$-points of the zeta-function, i.e., the roots of the equation $\zeta(s)=a$, where $a$ is an arbitrary fixed complex…

Let $\zeta(.)$ denote the Riemann zeta function and let $a(.)$ and $A(.)$ respectively denote a multiplicative function and its corresponding summatory function. We consider the correlation $$ \langle a(n)A(n-1) \rangle (T) =…

Calculations of the two-loop $\beta$-function for N=1 supersymmetric electrodynamics are compared for regularizations by higher derivatives and by the dimensional reduction. The renormalized effective action are found to be the same for…

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 prove a novel zeta regularized product formula concerning regularization of trigonometric products over non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function. Furthermore, we calculate the discrepancies of such regularized products. In special…

We study the eta invariants of Dirac operators and the regularized determinants of Dirac Laplacians over hyperbolic manifolds with cusps. We follow Werner M"uller and use relative traces to define these spectral invariants. We show the…

We discuss the role of the multiplicative anomaly for a complex scalar field at finite temperature and density. It is argued that physical considerations must be applied to determine which of the many possible expressions for the effective…

We prove a regularized determinant formula for the zeta functions of certain 3-dimensional Riemannian foliated dynamical systems, in terms of the infinitesimal operator induced by the flow acting on the reduced leafwise cohomologies. It is…

The renormalization of MZV was until now carried out by algebraic means. We show that renormalization in general, of the multiple zeta functions in particular, is more than mere convention. We show that simple calculus methods allow us to…

We analyze the effects of zeta-function regularization on the evaluation of quantum corrections to spinning strings. Previously, this method was applied in the sl(2) subsector and yielded agreement to third order in perturbation theory with…

We note how several central results in multiplicative number theory may be rephrased naturally in terms of multiplicative functions $f$ that pretend to be another multiplicative function $g$. We formalize a `distance' which gives a measure…

Let X be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension two or three and let P be a point of X. We derive comparison formulas relating the zeta-regularized determinant of an arbitrary self-adjoint extension of (symmetric) Laplace operator with…

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 define reduced zeta functions of Lie algebras, which can be derived from motivic zeta functions using the Euler characteristic. We show that reduced zeta functions of Lie algebras possessing a suitably well-behaved basis are easy to…

We determine the special values at positive integers of the spectral zeta function associated with the combinatorial Laplacian on the regular tree. These values admit explicit formulas in terms of certain polynomials, which we show to be…
