we discuss the decomposition of the zeta-determinant of the square of the Dirac operator into the contributions coming from the different parts of the manifold in the case of an invertible tangential operator.
We review the work of the authors and their collaborators on the decomposition of the zeta-determinant of the Dirac operator into the contribution coming from different parts of a manifold.
We prove an adiabatic decomposition formula of the zeta-determinant of the Laplace type operator with respect to Dirichlet boundary condition. We allow the non-invertible tangential operator. As a result, our adiabatic decomposition formula…
In this paper we first establish the relation between the zeta-determinant of a Dirac Laplacian with the Dirichlet boundary condition and the APS boundary condition on a cylinder. Using this result and the gluing formula of the…
In this note we specialize and illustrate the ideas developed in the paper math.DG/0201112 of the first author ("Index theory, eta forms, and Deligne cohomology ") in the case of the determinant line bundle. We discuss the surgery formula…
In the framework leading to the multiplicative anomaly formula ---which is here proven to be valid even in cases of known spectrum but non-compact manifold (very important in Physics)--- zeta-function regularisation techniques are shown to…
Some aspects of the multiplicative anomaly of zeta determinants are investigated. A rather simple approach is adopted and, in particular, the question of zeta function factorization, together with its possible relation with the…
The concept of determinant for a linear operator in an infinite-dimensional space is addressed, by using the derivative of the operator's zeta-function (following Ray and Singer) and, eventually, through its zeta-function trace. A little…
We employ the recently developed multi-time scale averaging method to study the large time behavior of slowly changing (in time) Hamiltonians. We treat some known cases in a new way, such as the Zener problem, and we give another proof of…
On an open manifold, the spaces of metrics or connections of bounded geometry, respectively, split into an uncountable number of components. We show that for a pair of metrics or connections, belonging to the same component, relative…
A discretized version of the adiabatic theorem is described with the help of a rule relating a Hermitian operator to its expectation value and variance. The simple initial operator X with known ground state is transformed in a series of N…
Understanding how spectral quantities localize on manifolds is a central theme in geometric spectral theory and index theory. Within this framework, the BFK formula, obtained by Burghelea, Friedlander and Kappeler in 1992, describes how the…
We consider the spin-c Dirac operator on the unit circle bundle of a positive line bundle over a Fano manifold of even complex dimension. We compute the corresponding eta invariant in terms of Zhang's value of its adiabatic limit. This…
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…
The zeta and eta-functions associated with massless and massive Dirac operators, in a D-dimensional (D odd or even) manifold without boundary, are rigorously constructed. Several mathematical subtleties involved in this process are…
We study the zeta determinant of global boundary problems of APS-type through a general theory for relative spectral invariants. In particular, we compute the zeta determinant for Dirac-Laplacian boundary problems in terms of a scattering…
The main goal of present paper is to analyze the adiabatic definition of scattering matrix in the formalism of L-functionals. This definition leads to the notion of inclusive scattering matrix closely related to inclusive cross sections. We…
We consider a class of singular Riemannian manifolds, the deformed spheres $S^N_k$, defined as the classical spheres with a one parameter family $g[k]$ of singular Riemannian structures, that reduces for $k=1$ to the classical metric. After…
The Landauer-Buettiker theory of mesoscopic conductors was recently extended to nanoelectromechanical systems. In this extension, the adiabatic reaction forces exerted by the electronic degrees of freedom on the mechanical modes were…
The goal of this paper is to compute the zeta function determinant for the massive Laplacian on Riemann caps (or spherical suspensions). These manifolds are defined as compact and boundaryless $D-$dimensional manifolds deformed by a…
