Abstract
Zeta function regularization [1] is proving to be a quite powerful method [2, 3] . Uses in QFT of quite non-trivial formulas, as some extensions of the Chowla-Selberg equation [4] to the non-inhomogeneous case and to the case of a truncated spectrum have recently been obtained. They are here given, together with some applications, and accompanied by a number of references that will lead the reader through more detailed descriptions of this subject.
