 Fourier-cutoff oscillator functional determinant

Use an orthonormal real Fourier series basis on a circle of length $\beta$, with ${\nu }_r=2\pi r/\beta$. Retain the constant coefficient and the sine/cosine pair for each $1\le r\le N$. The oscillator action becomes $\frac{1}{2}{\omega }^2{q}_0^2+\frac{1}{2}{\sum }_r({\omega }^2+{\nu }_r^2)(q_r^2+s_r^2)$. A product of real Gaussian integrals gives the displayed functional determinant, with $A_N$ independent of $\omega$. Ratios for two frequencies converge regardless of $A_N$. The absolute limit requires its normalization: $A_N={\beta }^{-1}{\prod }_r{\nu }_r^2$ gives the thermal partition function of a quantum harmonic oscillator in the limit. Multiplying this choice by an oscillating positive sequence preserves all frequency ratios but destroys the absolute limit.
