Abstract: The spherical domains $$ with conical singularities are a convenient arena for studying the properties of tensor Laplacians on arbitrary manifolds with such a kind of singular points. In this paper the vector Laplacian on $$ is considered and its spectrum is calculated exactly for any dimension $d$. This enables one to find the Schwinger-DeWitt coefficients of this operator by using the residues of the $zeta$-function. In particular, the second coefficient, defining the conformal anomaly, is explicitly calculated on $$ and its generalization to arbitrary manifolds is found. As an application of this result, the standard renormalization of the one-loop effective action of gauge fields is demonstrated to be sufficient to remove the ultraviolet divergences up to the first order in the conical deficit angle.
