Integrating Gauge Fields in the zeta-formulation of Feynman's path integral

In recent work by the authors, a connection between Feynman's path integral and Fourier integral operator $\zeta$-functions has been established as a means of regularizing the vacuum expectation values in quantum field theories. However, most explicit examples using this regularization technique to date, do not consider gauge fields in detail. Here, we address this gap by looking at some well-known physical examples of quantum fields from the Fourier integral operator $\zeta$-function point of view.
