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…
Some aspects of the multiplicative anomaly of zeta determinants are investigated. A rather simple approach is adopted and, in particular, the question of zeta function factorization, together with its possible relation with the…
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…
The relativistic complex scalar field at finite temperature and in presence of a net conserved charge is studied in reference to recent developments on the multiplicative anomaly. This quantity, overlooked until now, is computed and it is…

We shed doubt on a commonly used manipulation in computing the partition function for a matrix valued operator together with its attendant invocation of the multiplicative anomaly.
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…
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.
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…

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…
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…
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…
The zeta and eta-functions associated with massless and massive Dirac operators, in a D-dimensional (D odd or even) manifold without boundary, are rigorously constructed. Several mathematical subtleties involved in this process are…
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 $…
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 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…
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…
Domains of finite topological charge density can exist in chiral materials and chiral matter. Spatial and temporal variation of the average topological charge density, represented by the $\theta$-field, induces anomalous currents that are…
