Title:
Laplacian determinants and random surfaces
Speaker:
Abstract:
The Laplacian on a compact surface is an operator on the set of functions on that surface. It is has infinitely many non-zero eigenvalues, and the product of these eigenvalues is infinity. Nonetheless, the classical "zeta-regularization" provides a natural way to make sense of the "determinant" of the Laplacian operator.
