چکیده
We compute the relation between the Quillen metric and and the canonical metric on the determinant line bundle for a family of elliptic boundary value problems of Dirac-type. To do this we present a general formula relating the ζdeterminant and the canonical determinant for a class of higher-order elliptic boundary value problems.

The Shapovalov determinant for a class of pointed Hopf algebras is calculated, including quantized enveloping algebras, Lusztig’s small quantum groups, and quantized Lie superalgebras. Our main tools are root systems, Weyl groupoids, and Lusztig type isomorphisms. We elaborate powerful novel techniques for the algebras at roots of unity, and pass to the general case using a density argument.

We compute the determinant of the Gram matrix of the Shapovalov form on weight spaces of the basic representation of an affine Kac-Moody algebra of ADE type (possibly twisted). As a consequence, we obtain explicit formulae for the determinants of the Cartan matrices of p-blocks of the symmetric group and its double cover, and of the associated Hecke algebras at roots of unity.

The van Vleck determinant is an ubiquitous object, arising in many physically interesting situations such as: (1) WKB approximations to quantum time evolution operators and Green functions. (2) Adiabatic approximations to heat kernels. (3) One loop approximations to functional integrals. (4) The theory of caustics in geometrical optics and ultrason-ics. (5) The focussing and defocussing of geod...

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.

The authors show that a wide class of Fredholm determinants arising in the representation theory of " big " groups such as the infinite–dimensional unitary group, solve Painlevé equations. Their methods are based on the theory of integrable operators and the theory of Riemann–Hilbert problems.
