摘要
The standard formula for the change in the effective action under a conformal transformation is extended to the case when the boundary is piecewise smooth. We then determine the functional determinants on regions of the plane obtained by stereographic projection of the fundamental domains on the orbifolded 2-sphere. Examples treated are the sector of a disk and a circular crescent. The effective action on a spherical cap is also found.
