Heat-kernel expansion and zeta function regularisation are discussed for Laplace type operators with discrete spectrum in non compact domains. Since a general theory is lacking, the heat-kernel expansion is investigated by means of several examples. It is pointed out that for a class of exponential (analytic) interactions, generically the non-compactness of the domain gives rise to logarithmic terms in the heat-kernel expansion. Then, a meromorphic continuation of the associated zeta function is investigated. A simple model is considered, for which the analytic continuation of the zeta function is not regular at the origin, displaying a pole of higher order. For a physically meaningful evaluation of the related functional determinant, a generalised zeta function regularisation procedure is proposed.

This paper provides sharp Dirichlet heat kernel estimates in inner uniform domains, including bounded inner uniform domains, in the context of certain (possibly non-symmetric) bilinear forms resembling Dirichlet forms. For instance, the results apply to the Dirichlet heat kernel associated with a uniformly elliptic divergence form operator with symmetric second order part and bounded measurable coefficients in inner uniform domains in $mathbb R^n$. The results are applicable to any convex domain, to the complement of any convex domain, and to more exotic examples such as the interior and exterior of the snowflake.
We consider different methods of calculating the (fractional) fermion number of solitons based on the heat kernel expansion. We derive a formula for the localized eta function a more systematic version of the derivative expansion for spectral assymmetry and that provides a more systematic version of the derivative expansion for spectral asymmetry and compute the fermion number in a multiflavour extension of the Goldstone-Wilczek model.We also propose an improved expansionof the heat kernelthat allows the tackling ofthe convergence issues and permits an automated computation of the coefficients
In this paper we shall study vacuum fluctuations of a single scalar field with Dirichlet boundary conditions in a finite but very long line. The spectral heat kernel, the heat partition function and the spectral zeta function are calculated in terms of Riemann Theta functions, the error function, and hypergeometric PFQ functions.
The spectrum of the fermionic operators depending on external fields is an important object in Quantum Field Theory. In this paper we prove, using transition to the alternative basis for the $gamma$-matrices, that this spectrum does not depend on the sign of the fermion mass, up to a constant factor. This assumption has been extensively used, but usually without proof. As an illustration, we calculated the coincidence limit of the coefficient $a_2(x,x^prime)$ on the general metric background, vector and axial vector fields.
Some recent (1997-1998) theoretical results concerning the $zeta$-function regularization procedure used to renormalize, at one-loop, the effective Lagrangian, the field fluctuations and the stress-tensor in curved spacetime are reviewed.
