Abstract

We derive the spectral zeta function in terms of certain Dirichlet series for a variety of spherical space forms MG. Extending results in [C. Nash, D. O'Connor, Determinants of Laplacians on lens spaces, J. Math. Phys. 36 (3) (1995) 1462-1505] the zeta-regularized determinant of the Laplacian on MG is obtained explicitly from these formulas. In particular, our method applies to manifolds of dimension higher than 3 and it includes the case where G arises from the dihedral group of order 2 m. As a crucial ingredient in our analysis we determine the dimension of eigenspaces of the Laplacian in form of some combinatorial quantities for various infinite classes of manifolds from the explicit form of the generating function in [A. Ikeda, On the spectrum of a Riemannian manifold of positive constant curvature, Osaka J. Math. 17 (1980) 75-93].
