Bogolyubov invariant via relative spectral invariants on manifolds

Abstract

We introduce and study new spectral invariant of two elliptic partial differential operators of Laplace and Dirac type on compact smooth manifolds without boundary that depends on both the eigenvalues and the eigensections of the operators, which is a equal to the regularized number of created particles from the vacuum when the dynamical operator depends on time. We study the asymptotic expansion of this invariant for small adiabatic parameter and compute explicitly the first two coefficients of the asymptotic expansion.
