Heat-kernels and functional determinants on the generalized cone

arXiv:hep-th/9602089 · doi:10.1007/BF02517895

Abstract

We consider zeta functions and heat-kernel expansions on the bounded, generalized cone in arbitrary dimensions using an improved calculational technique. The specific case of a global monopole is analysed in detail and some restrictions thereby placed on the coefficient. The computation of functional determinants is also addressed. General formulas are given and known results are incidentally, and rapidly, reproduced.
