Abstract—Representations of regularized determinants of elements of one-parameter operator semigroups
whose generators are second-order elliptic differential operators by Lagrangian functional integrals are
obtained. Such semigroups describe solutions of inverse Kolmogorov equations for diffusion processes. For
self-adjoint elliptic operators, these semigroups are often called Schrödinger semigroups, because they are
obtained by means of analytic continuation from Schrödinger groups. It is also shown that the regularized deter-
minant of the exponential of the generator (this exponential is an element of a one-parameter semigroup) coin-
cides with the exponential of the regularized trace of the generator.
