Particular ordinary differential operators (Dirac, one-dimensional Schrödinger, etc.) (34L40) Selfadjoint operator theory in quantum theory, including spectral analysis (81Q10)

Abstract: We derive simple new expressions, in various dimensions, for the functional determinant of a radially separable partial differential operator, thereby generalizing the one-dimensional result of Gel'fand and Yaglom to higher dimensions. We use the zeta function formalism, and the results agree with what one would obtain using the angular momentum cutoff method based on radial WKB. The final expression is numerically equal to an alternative expression derived in a Feynman diagrammatic approach, but is considerably simpler.
