In particular, we show that the meromorphic extensions of these ζfunctions have, in general, countably many logarithmic branch cuts on the nonpositive real axis and unusual locations of poles with arbitrarily large multiplicity. Moreover, we give a precise algebraic-combinatorial formula to compute the coefficients of the leading order terms of the singularities.

Research paper thumbnail of The very unusual properties of the resolvent, heat kernel, and zeta function for the operator −d2∕dr2−1∕(4r2)

The structural properties of these spectral functions depend strongly on the chosen self-adjoint realization of the operator, a choice being made necessary because of the singular potential present. Only for the Friedrichs realization standard properties are reproduced, for all other realizations highly nonstandard properties are observed. In particular, for k ∈ N we find terms like (log t) −k in the small-t asymptotic expansion of the heat kernel. Furthermore, the zeta function has s = 0 as a logarithmic branch point.

In particular, this result reduces to our previous formula [J. Phys. AJPHAC5 37, 7381 (2004)] for the special case of generalized Atiyah–Patodi–Singer conditions. To prove our main result, we use the gluing and comparison formulas established by the present authors in Refs 14 and 15.

We also analyze the adiabatic behavior of the ζ-determinant of a Dirichlet to Neumann operator. This analysis makes it possible to compare the adiabatic decomposition formula with the Meyer-Vietoris type formula for the ζ-determinant proved by Burghelea, Friedlander and Kappeler. As a byproduct of this comparison, we obtain the exact value of the local constant which appears in their formula for the case of Dirichlet boundary condition.

We discuss the surgery formula in the adiabatic limit using the adiabatic decomposition formula of the zeta regularized determinant of the Dirac Laplacian in [Scattering theory, the adiabatic decomposition of the ζ-determinant and the Dirichlet to Neumann operator, Preprint].

We show that the meromorphic extensions of these ζ-functions have, in general, countably many logarithmic branch cuts on the nonpositive real axis and unusual locations of poles with arbitrarily large multiplicity. The corresponding heat kernel and resolvent trace expansions also exhibit exotic behaviors with logarithmic terms of arbitrary positive and negative multiplicity. We also give a precise algebraic-combinatorial formula to compute the coefficients of the leading order terms of the singularities.

Kirsten, Spectral Functions in Mathematics and Physics, Chapman & Hall/ CRC Press, Boca Raton, 2001] is given. Different boundary conditions, local and non-local ones, are considered. The method is shown to be very powerful in that it is easily adapted to each situation and in that answers are very elegantly obtained.

We show that the Cauchy data space of a Dirac operator on such a manifold is Lagrangian for the self-adjoint case, the corresponding Calderón projector is a b-pseudodifferential operator of order 0, characterize Fredholmness, prove relative index formulae, and solve the Bojarski conjecture.

To do so, we develop a new approach to solve such problems which relies heavily on the theory of elliptic boundary problems, the analysis of the resolvent of the Dirac operator, and the introduction of an auxiliary model problem. Moreover, as a byproduct of our approach we obtain a new gluing formula for the eta invariant au gratis.
