Dirichlet oscillator determinant ratio
ID: dirichlet-oscillator-determinant-ratio
On with vanishing endpoint fluctuations, the sine-mode eigenvalues are . Divide by the free eigenvalues and use the sine infinite product. The ratio determines the harmonic oscillator transition kernel once the free configuration-space path integral is normalized. Zeros correspond to caustics where the fluctuation operator has a zero mode.
