It is known that not all summation methods are linear and stable. Zeta function regularization is in general nonlinear. However, in some cases formal manipulations with zeta function regularization (assuming linearity of sums) lead to correct results. We consider several examples and show why this happens.
Free energy on a cycle graph and trigonometric deformation of heat kernel traces on odd spheres
• Mathematics
• 2016
We consider a possible ‘deformation’ of the trace of the heat kernel on odd dimensional spheres, motivated by the calculation of the free energy of a scalar field on a discretized circle. By using an

The Casimir energy for the transverse oscillations of a piecewise uniform closed string is calculated and delicate points in the regularization procedure are discussed; it turns out that a straightforward use of the Riemann {zeta}-function regularization method leads to an incorrect expression for the CasimirEnergy.
