Let $K$ be a quadratic field, and let $\zeta_K$ its Dedekind zeta function. In this paper we introduce a factorization of $\zeta_K$ into two functions, $L_1$ and $L_2$, defined as partial Euler products of $\zeta_K$, which lead to a…

It has been recently conjectured that the spectral determinants of operators associated to mirror curves can be expressed in terms of a generalization of theta functions, called quantum theta functions. In this paper we study the symplectic…

We study two types of regularizations of the determinant of Laplacian on Riemann manifold from the viewpoint of resurgence theory. One is the formal logarithmic derivative of the determinant, and the other is its exponential deformation.…
