The bundle Laplacian on discrete tori (Q1733567)

Summary: We prove an asymptotic formula for the determinant of the bundle Laplacian on discrete \(d\)-dimensional tori as the number of vertices tends to infinity. This determinant has a combinatorial interpretation in terms of cycle-rooted spanning forests. We also establish a relation (in the limit) between the spectral zeta function of a line bundle over a discrete torus, the spectral zeta function of the infinite graph \(\mathbb{Z}^d\) and the Epstein-Hurwitz zeta function. The latter can be viewed as the spectral zeta function of the twisted continuous torus which is the limit of the sequence of discrete tori.
