Abstract

Let FF be a non-archimedean local field with a finite residue field. To a 2-dimensional finite complex XΓX_\Gamma arising as the quotient of the Bruhat-Tits building XX associated to \Sp4(F)\Sp_4(F) by a discrete torsion-free cocompact subgroup Γ\Gamma of \PGSp4(F)\PGSp_4(F), associate the zeta function Z(XΓ,u)Z(X_{\Gamma}, u) which counts geodesic tailless cycles contained in the 1-skeleton of XΓX_{\Gamma}. Using a representation-theoretic approach, we obtain two closed form expressions for Z(XΓ,u)Z(X_{\Gamma}, u) as a rational function in uu. Equivalent statements for XΓX_{\Gamma} being a Ramanujan complex are given in terms of vertex, edge, and chamber adjacency operators, respectively. The zeta functions of such Ramanujan complexes are distinguished by satisfying the Riemann Hypothesis.
