Quantum effects of stringy and membranic nature for the swimming of micro-organisms in a fluid
E. Elizalde, M. Kawamura, S. Nojiri +2
The static potential is investigated in string and membrane theories coupled to gauge fields (specifically, external magnetic fields) and with antisymmetric tensor fields. T…
Casimir energy of a massive field in a genus-1 surface
K. Kirsten, E. Elizalde
We review the definition of the Casimir energy steming naturally from the concept of functional determinant through the zeta function prescription. This is done by considering the…
Zeta function determinant of the Laplace operator on the -dimensional ball
M. Bordag, B. Geyer, K. Kirsten +1
We present a direct approach for the calculation of functional determinants of the Laplace operator on balls. Dirichlet and Robin boundary conditions are considered. Using this app…
Applications of the Mellin-Barnes integral representation
E. Elizalde, K. Kirsten, S. Zerbini
We apply the Mellin-Barnes integral representation to several situations of interest in mathematical-physics. At the purely mathematical level, we derive useful asymptotic expansio…
