Abstract
The effective action on an orbifolded sphere is computed for minimally coupled scalar fields. The results are presented in terms of derivati ves of Barnes zeta-functions and it is shown how these may be evaluate d. Numerical values are shown. An analytical, heat-kernel derivation o f the Cesaro-Fedorov formula for the number of symmetry planes of a re gular solid is also presented.
