MiS Preprint Repository

We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Tau-functions on spaces of Abelian and quadratic differentials and determinants of Laplacians in Strebel metrics of finite volume

Dmitry Korotkin and Alexey Kokotov

Abstract

We define and explicitly calculate the tau-functions on different strata of spaces of Abelian and quadratic differentials. This provides a machinery to calculate the determinants of Laplacians in flat metrics with conical singularities on Riemann surfaces. The results can be considered as a generalization of the famous Kronecker formula for the Laplacian in the flat metric on an elliptic surface to the case of higher genus.
