Techniques are presented for calculating directly the scalar functional determinant on the Euclidean d-ball. General formulae are given for Dirichlet and Robin boundary conditions. The method involves a large mass asymptotic limit which is…

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…

Sharp upper and lower bounds for the second and third order Hermitian-Toepilitz determinants are obtained for some generalized subclasses of starlike and convex functions. Applications of these results are also discussed for several widely…

We investigate new properties of the fractional Dirichlet Laplacian on smooth bounded domains and establish fractional product estimates and nonlinear Poincar\'e inequalities. We also use these tools to study the long-time dynamics of the…

Let $X$ be a Riemann surface of genus $g\ge 1$ endowed with a flat conical metric $m$ and let ${\rm det}\,\Delta$ be the $\zeta$-regularized determinant of the Friedrichs Laplacian on $(X,m)$. We derive variational formulas for ${\rm…

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…

The evaluation of the determinant of the Laplacian defined on two dimensional regions of various shapes is an essential ingredient in calculating the scattering amplitudes of strings. In lightcone parameterization the regions are…

We study functional determinants for Dirac operators on manifolds with boundary and discuss the ellipticity of boundary problems by using the Calder\'on projector. We give, for local boundary conditions, an explicit formula relating these…

We study the dimensional asymptotics of the effective actions, or functional determinants, for the Dirac operator D and Laplacians \Delta +\beta R on round S^n. For Laplacians the behavior depends on ``the coupling strength'' \beta, and one…

In this paper we analyze the spectral zeta function associated with a Laplace operator acting on scalar functions on an N-dimensional Euclidean space in the presence of a spherically symmetric background potential. The obtained analytic…

The aim of this paper is two-fold: first, we look at the fractional Laplacian and the conformal fractional Laplacian from the general framework of representation theory on symmetric spaces and, second, we construct new boundary operators…

Let M be a closed compact n-dimensional manifold with n odd. We calculate the first and second variations of the zeta-regularized determinants det^\prime\Lambda and det L as the metric on M varies, where \Delta denotes the Laplacian on…

A numerical expression in the form of an integral is given for the determinant of the scalar GJMS operator on an odd--dimensional sphere. Manipulation yields a curious sum formula for the logdet in terms of the logdets of the ordinary…

We compute conformal correlation functions with spinor, tensor, and spinor-tensor primary fields in general dimensions with Euclidean and Lorentzian metrics. The spinors are taken to be Dirac spinors, which exist for any dimensions. For…

Functional determinants for Dirac operators on manifolds with boundary are considered. Ellipticity of boundary value problems is discussed in terms of the Calderon projector. The functional determinant for a Dirac operator on a…

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…

We present explicit formulas for solutions to nonhomogeneous boundary value problems involving any positive power of the Laplacian in the half-space. For non-integer powers the operator becomes nonlocal and this requires a suitable…

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…

For $\Pi \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ a connected, open, bounded set whose boundary is a finite union of disjoint polygons whose vertices have integer coordinates, the logarithm of the discrete Laplacian on $L\Pi \cap \mathbb{Z}^2$ with Dirichlet…

We give examples of spin $4$-manifolds with boundary $(M,\partial M)$ such that the boundary $\partial M$ has a positive scalar curvature metric which cannot be extended to a positive scalar curvature metric on $M$ with mean convex…
