Casimir force using Pauli-Villars regularization
In Zee's Quantum field theory in a nutshell, 2nd edition, p. 74 he claims that:
$$
\sum_a c_a \Lambda_a \sum_n \frac{\omega_n}{\omega_n + \Lambda_a} = - \sum_a c_a \Lambda_a \sum_n ...

Regularisation of infinite-dimensional determinants
Can a regularisation of the determinant be used to find the eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian in the normal infinite dimensional setting of QM?
Edit: I failed to make myself clear. In finite ...
