We show that the Szego regularized determinant of a zeroth order operator differs from the zeta regularized determinant of the same operator by a local term. In addition, we compute multiplicative anomalies for the zeta regularized…
We have been working in many aspects of the problem of analyzing, understanding and solving ordinary differential equations (first and second order). As we have extensively mentioned, while working in the Darboux type methods, the most…
We apply the Dirac procedure for constrained systems to the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formalism linearized around the Friedmann-Lemaitre universe. We explain and employ some basic concepts such as Dirac observables, Dirac brackets, gauge-fixing…
The conformal anomalies and functional determinants of the Branson--GJMS operators, P_{2k}, on the d-dimensional sphere are evaluated in explicit terms for any d and k such that k < d/2+1 (if d is even). The determinants are given in terms…
In this paper, we investigate the determinants involving some trigonometric functions. We establish a connection between these determinants and the special values of Dirichlet L-functions, thereby extending Guo's results to arbitrary…
Gauge-invariant systems in unconstrained configuration and phase spaces, equivalent to second-class constraints systems upon a gauge-fixing, are discussed. A mathematical pendulum on an $n-1$-dimensional sphere $S^{n-1}$ as an example of a…
In this work, we consider a FDE (fractional diffusion equation) $${}^C D_t^\alpha u(x,t)-a(t)\mathcal{L} u(x,t)=F(x,t)$$ with a time-dependent diffusion coefficient $a(t)$. For the direct problem, given an $a(t),$ we establish the…
In view of growing interest in tensor modes and their possible detection, we clarify the definition of tensor modes up to 2nd order in perturbation theory within the Hamiltonian formalism. Like in gauge theory, in cosmology the Hamiltonian…
This paper is devoted to prove the existence of positive solutions of a second order differential equation with a nonhomogeneous Dirichlet conditions given by a parameter dependence integral. The studied problem is a nonlocal perturbation…
We study a theory of Dirac fermions on a disk in presence of an electromagnetic field. Using the heat-kernel technique we compute the functional determinant which results after decoupling the zero-flux gauge degrees of freedom from the…
Recently the partial wave cutoff method was developed as a new calculational scheme for a functional determinant of quantum field theory in radial backgrounds. For the contribution given by an infinite sum of large partial waves, we derive…
The Riemann-zeta function regularization procedure has been studied intensively as a good method in the computation of the determinant for pseudo-diferential operator. In this paper we propose a different approach for the computation of the…
Gauge invariant treatments of the second order cosmological perturbation in a four dimensional homogeneous isotropic universe filled with the perfect fluid are completely formulated without any gauge fixing. We derive all components of the…
The reduction operators, i.e., the operators of nonclassical (conditional) symmetry, of (1+1)-dimensional second order linear parabolic partial differential equations and all the possible reductions of these equations to ordinary…
For a second order difference equation that arises in the study of stability of unidirectional (generalized Kolmogorov) flows for the Euler equations of ideal fluids on the two dimensional torus, we relate the following five functions of…
The question of self-adjoint realizations of sign-indefinite second order differential operators is discussed in terms of a model problem. Operators of the type $-\frac{d}{dx} \sgn (x) \frac{d}{dx}$ are generalized to finite, not…
Two-dimensional quantum gravity is identified as a second-class system which we convert into a first-class system via the Batalin-Fradkin (BF) procedure. Using the extended phase space method, we then formulate the theory in most general…
In this work we explore an instance of the $\tau$-function of vertex type operators, specified in terms of a constant phase shift in a free-fermionic basis. From the physical point of view this $\tau$-function has multiple interpretations:…
We bring together two apparently disconnected lines of research (of mathematical and of physical nature, respectively) which aim at the definition, through the corresponding zeta function, of the determinant of a differential operator…
We consider second-order functional differential operators with a constant delay. Properties of their spectral characteristics are obtained and a nonlinear inverse problem is studied, which consists in recovering the operators from their…
