Tunnelling geometries II. Reduction methods for functional determinants
arXiv:gr-qc/9311023 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.50.5115
Abstract
The reduction algorithms for functional determinants of differential operators on spacetime manifolds of different topological types are presented, which were recently used for the calculation of the no-boundary wavefunction and the partition function of tunnelling geometries in quantum gravity and cosmology.
