- Title
A Meyer–Vietoris Formula for the Determinant of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann Operator on Riemann Surfaces.

- Abstract
This paper presents a Meyer–Vietoris type gluing formula for a conformal invariant of a Riemannian surface with boundary that is defined by the determinant of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator. The formula is used to bound the asymptotics of the invariant under degeneration. It is shown that the associated height function on the moduli space of hyperbolic surfaces with geodesic boundary is proper only in genus zero. Properness implies a compactness theorem for Steklov isospectral metrics in the case of genus zero. The formula also provides asymptotics for the determinant of the Laplacian with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. For the proof, we derive an extension of Kirchhoff's weighted matrix tree theorem for graph Laplacians with an external potential.
