Tunnelling geometries II. Reduction methods for functional determinants
Abstract
The reduction algorithms for functional determinants of differential operators on spacetime manifolds of different topological types are presented, which were recently used for the calculation of the no-boundary wavefunction and the partition function of tunnelling geometries in quantum gravity and cosmology.
