AbstractDeterminants of the Laplace and other elliptic operators on compact manifolds have been an object of study for many years (see [MP, RS, Vor]). Up until now, however, the theory of determinants has not been extended to non-compact situations, since these typically involve a mixture of discrete and continuous spectra. Recent advances in this theory, which are partially motivated by developments in mathematical physics, have led to a connection, in the compact Riemann surface case, between determinants of Laplacians on spinors and the Selberg zeta function of the underlying surface (see [DP, Kie, Sar, Vor]).Our purpose in this paper is to introduce a notion of determinants on non-compact (finite volume) Riemann surfaces. These will be associated to the Laplacian Δ shifted by a parameters(1−s), and will be defined in terms of a Dirichlet series ζ(w, s) which is a sum that represents the discrete as well as the continuous spectrum. It will be seen to be regular atw=0, and our main theorem (see Sect. 1) will express exp
$$left( {left. { - frac{partial }{{partial w}}zeta (w,s)}
ight|_{w = 0} }
ight)$$
as the Selberg zeta function of the surface times the appropriate Γ-factor.
