    The authors study the zeta-regularized determinant of the scalar Laplacian on certain Heisenberg manifolds (compact quotients of the Heisenberg group) of dimension \(3\) and \(5\), which are totally geodesic \(S^1\) bundles over flat tori. They also give general formulae for determinants of product Riemannian manifolds and of flat tori.
