We discuss a specific class of regular-singular Laplace-type operators with matrix coefficients. Their zeta determinants were studied by K. Kirsten, P. Loya and J. Park on the basis of the Contour integral method, with general boundary…
In this paper we study spectral zeta functions associated to finite and infinite graphs. First we establish a meromorphic continuation of these functions under some general conditions. Then we study special values in the case of standard…
We study regularized determinants of Laplacians acting on the space of Hilbert-Maass forms for the Hilbert modular group of a real quadratic field. We show that these determinants are described by Selberg type zeta functions introduced in…
In this paper I study the Casimir effect caused by a charged and massive scalar field that breaks Lorentz invariance in a CPT-even, aether-like manner. I investigate the case of a scalar field that satisfies Dirichlet or mixed…
In this paper I study the Casimir effect caused by a charged and massive scalar field that breaks Lorentz invariance in a CPT-even, aether-like manner. The breaking of Lorentz invariance is implemented by a constant space-like vector…
In this paper we reconsider the formulation for the computation of the Casimir energy in spherically symmetric background potentials. Compared to the previous analysis, the technicalities are much easier to handle and final answers are…
We present a detailed study of the scattering system given by the Neumann Laplacian on the discrete half-space perturbed by a periodic potential at the boundary. We derive asymptotic resolvent expansions at thresholds and eigenvalues, we…
After a brief discussion of elliptic boundary problems and their properties, we concentrate on a particular example: the Euclidean Dirac operator in two dimensions, with its domain determined by local boundary conditions. We discuss the…
The functional determinant of Laplace-type operators on the 3-dimensional non-compact hyperbolic manifold with invariant fundamental domain of finite volume is computed by quadratures and making use of the related terms of the Selberg trace…
We consider the vacuum energy of the electromagnetic field in the background of spherically symmetric dielectrics, subject to a cut-off frequency in the dispersion relations. The effect of this frequency dependent boundary condition between…
The spectral zeta functions have been found many application in several branches of modern physics, including the quantum field theory, the string theory and the cosmology. In this paper, we shall consider the spectral zeta functions and…
This paper establishes trace-formulae for a class of operators defined in terms of the functional calculus for the Laplace operator on divergence-free vector fields with relative and absolute boundary conditions on Lipschitz domains in…
In this paper we compute the coefficients of the heat kernel asymptotic expansion for Laplace operators acting on scalar functions defined on the so called spherical suspension (or Riemann cap) subjected to Dirichlet boundary conditions. By…
The Hodge--de Rham Laplacian on spheres acting on antisymmetric tensor fields is considered. Explicit expressions for the spectrum are derived in a quite direct way, confirming previous results. Associated functional determinants and the…
In this paper, we study the relation between the partition function of the free scalar field theory on hypercubes with boundary conditions and asymptotics of discrete partition functions on a sequence of "lattices" which approximate the…
A precise zeta-function calculation shows that the contribution of the vacuum energy to the observed value of the cosmological constant can possibly have the desired order of magnitude albeit the sign strongly depends on the topology of the…
We use a functional approach to calculate the Casimir energy due to Dirac fields in interaction with thin, flat, parallel walls, which implement imperfect bag-like boundary conditions. These are simulated by the introduction of delta-like…
We investigate the propagation of arbitrarily coupled scalar fields on the $N$-dimensional hyperbolic space ${\mathbb H}^N$. Using the $\zeta$-function regularization we compute exactly the one loop effective action. The vacuum expectation…
The vacuum fluctuations give rise to a number of phenomena; however, the the Casimir Effect is arguably the most salient manifestation of the quantum vacuum. In its most basic form it is realized through the interaction of a pair of neutral…
The $\zeta$ function of a massive scalar field near a cosmic string is computed and then employed to find the vacuum fluctuation of the field. The vacuum expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor is also computed using a…
