Abstract

Compact polyhedral surfaces (or, equivalently, compact Riemann surfaces with conformal flat conical metrics) of an arbitrary genus are considered. After giving a short self- contained survey of their basic spectral properties, we study the zeta-regularized determinant of the Laplacian as
a functional on the moduli space of these surfaces. An explicit formula for this determinant is obtained.
