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.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-07-06T11:18:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "discrete torus", "bundle laplacian", "spectral zeta function", "epstein-hurwitz zeta function", "vertices tends" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
