The spectral zeta function for Laplace operators on warped product manifolds of the type \(I \times _{f } N\) (Q1936416)

The authors consider the Laplacian \(\Delta_M\) acting on functions on a warped product \(M= I \times_f N\) of an interval \(I \subset \mathbb{R}\) and a compact Riemannian manifold \(N.\) Here \(f\) is a function on the interval. A detailed analysis for the analytic continuation of the spectral zeta function of \(\Delta_M\) is presented. The results are given in terms of the spectral zeta function of the Laplacian \(\Delta_N\) on \(N.\)
