Abstract
We obtain a closed expression for the functional determinant of the Dirac operator in two-dimensional QED by confronting results on cluster decomposition with direct fermion integration in the presence of Atiyah-Singer zero modes. The result is shown to be identical with the one obtained from the zeta-function definition and the use of the modified anomaly equation.
