Abstract

We define an SLn(Z)\operatorname{SL}_n(\mathbb{Z})-invariant tropical zeta function of a convex domain. In dimension 2 it admits boundary Dirichlet-series representation with summands indexed by Farey pairs. For C3C^3 strictly convex domains, it extends meromorphically to (s)>3/5\Re(s)>3/5, holomorphic there except for a simple pole at s=2/3s=2/3, with residue proportional to equiaffine perimeter. A Tauberian argument yields the t1/3t^{1/3} wave-front lattice-perimeter asymptotic for t0t\rightarrow 0.

87 pages, 9 figures. Main theorem: for smooth strictly convex planar domains, the tropical zeta function continues meromorphically to Re(s)>3/5 with simple pole at s=2/3; residue gives equiaffine perimeter. Includes Tauberian asymptotic for lattice perimeter of tropical wave fronts
