Abstract
The zeta function associated with higher-spin fields on the Euclidean 4-ball is investigated. The leading coefficients of the corresponding heat-kernel expansion are given explicitly and the zeta functional det erminant is calculated. For fermionic fields the determinant is shown to differ for local and spectral boundary conditions.
