Review text

The authors compute the zeta-regularized determinant and the proper time regularized determinant for the square of the Dirac operator \(D\) on the \(n\)-dimensional (\(n\geq 2\)) sphere with its standard metric. They propose a definition for the determinant of \(D\) itself and compute it for both spin structures on \(S^1\). Numerical evidence is presented for the conjecture that it tends to 1 on \(S^n\) for \(n\rightarrow\infty\). Finally they derive formulas for the determinant on spherical space forms and, on \(S^2\), for \(D\) twisted by a complex line bundle. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1007.00073].
