Regularisation of functional determinants using boundary perturbations

Abstract

The formalism which has been developed to give general expressions for the determinants of differential operators is extended to the physically interesting situation where these operators have a zero mode which has been extracted. In the approach adopted here, this mode is removed by a novel regularisation procedure, which allows remarkably simple expressions for these determinants to be derived.
