The scalar functional determinants on sectors of the two-dimensional disc and spherical cap are determined for arbitrary angles (rational factors of $\pi$). The wholesphere and hemisphere expressions are also given, in low dimensions, for…

Functional determinants for the scalar Laplacian on spherical caps and slices, flat balls, shells and generalised cylinders are evaluated in two, three and four dimensions using conformal techniques. Both Dirichlet and Robin boundary…

Functional determinants on various domains of the sphere and flat space are presented for scalar and spinor fields.

We investigate the functional determinant of the laplacian on piece-wise flat two-dimensional surfaces, with conical singularities in the interior and/or corners on the boundary. Our results extend earlier investigations of the determinants…

The Laplacian functional determinants for conformal scalars and coexact one-forms are evaluated in closed form on inhomogeneous lens spaces of certain orders, including all odd primes when the essential part of the expression is given,…

Some calculational errors in expressions derived previously by the first author for the effective action, or equivalently for the functional determinant, on sectors of a spherical cap are corrected. The formula for the change in the…

In this contribution we first summarize how contour integration methods can be used to derive closed formulae for functional determinants of ordinary differential operators. We then generalize our considerations to partial differential…

We present a simple and accessible method which uses contour integration methods to derive formulae for functional determinants. To make the presentation as clear as possible we illustrate the general ideas using the Laplacian with…

After a brief survey of zeta function regularization issues and of the related multiplicative anomaly, illustrated with a couple of basic examples, namely the harmonic oscillator and quantum field theory at finite temperature, an…

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…

Compact polyhedral surfaces (or, equivalently, compact Riemann surfaces with conformal flat conical metrics) of an arbitrary genus are considered. After giving a short self-contained survey of their basic spectral properties, we study the…

In this paper we investigate the nature of stationary points of functionals on the space of Riemannian metrics on a smooth compact manifold. Special cases are spectral invariants associated with Laplace or Dirac operators such as functional…

A general method of finding functional determinants is presented that depends on the asymptotic behaviour of the resolvent. Its application to the case of a bounded trihedral corner for which the eigenvalues are known only implicitly is…

We study the regularized determinant of the Laplacian as a functional on the space of Mandelstam diagrams (noncompact translation surfaces glued from finite and semi-infinite cylinders). A Mandelstam diagram can be considered as a compact…

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…

We prove a formula for the determinant of Laplacian on an arbitrary compact polyhedral surface of genus one. This formula generalizes the well-known Ray-Singer result for a flat torus. A special case of flat conical metrics given by the…

We study the spectral zeta functions of the Laplacian on fractal sets which are locally self-similar fractafolds, in the sense of Strichartz. These functions are known to meromorphically extend to the entire complex plane, and the locations…

The spectral zeta function of the Laplacian on self-similar fractal sets has been previously studied and shown to meromorphically extend to the complex plane. In this work we establish under certain conditions a relationship between the…

Recurrences for positive definite functions in terms of the space dimension have been used in several fields of applications. Such recurrences typically relate to properties of the system of special functions characterizing the geometry of…

We construct a determinant of the Laplacian for infinite-area surfaces which are hyperbolic near infinity and without cusps. In the case of a convex co-compact hyperbolic metric, the determinant can be related to the Selberg zeta function…
