Abstract

We express the zeta function associated with the Laplacian operator on $S^1_r M$ in terms of the zeta function associated with the Laplacian on $M$, where $M$ is a compact connected Riemannian manifold. This gives formulae for the partition function of the associated physical model at low and high temperature for any compact domain $M$. Furthermore, we provide an exact formula for the zeta function at any value of $r$ when $M$ is a $D$--dimensional box or a $D$--dimensional torus; this allows a rigorous calculation of the zeta invariants and the analysis of the main thermodynamic functions associated with the physical models at finite temperature.
