Forms on Vector Bundles Over Hyperbolic Manifolds and the Conformal Anomaly
We study gauge theories based on abelian forms on real compact hyperbolic
manifolds. An explicit formula for the conformal anomaly corresponding to
skew--symmetric tensor fields is obtained, by using zeta--function
regularization and the trace tensor kernel formula. Explicit exact and
numerical values of the anomaly for forms of order up to in spaces of
dimension up to are then calculated.Comment: 13 pages, 2 table
