This article introduces and investigates the basic features of a dynamical zeta function for group actions, motivated by the classical dynamical zeta function of a single transformation. A product formula for the dynamical zeta function is…
We present results and background rationale in support of a Polya--Carlson dichotomy between rationality and a natural boundary for the analytic behaviour of dynamical zeta functions of compact group automorphisms.
We study periodic points for endomorphisms $\sigma$ of abelian varieties $A$ over algebraically closed fields of positive characteristic $p$. We show that the dynamical zeta function $\zeta_\sigma$ of $\sigma$ is either rational or…
In this paper we continue to study the Reidemeister zeta function. We prove P\'olya -- Carlson dichotomy between rationality and a natural boundary for analytic behavior of the Reidemeister zeta function for a large class of automorphisms…
We prove a dichotomy between rationality and a natural boundary for the analytic behavior of the Reidemeister zeta function for automorphisms of non-finitely generated torsion abelian groups and for endomorphisms of groups $\mathbb Z_p^d,$…
This paper generalizes Bass' work on zeta functions for uniform tree lattices. Using the theory of von Neumann algebras, machinery is developed to define the zeta function of a discrete group of automorphisms of a bounded degree tree. The…
Let $\sigma$ denote an endomorphism of a smooth algebraic group $G$ over the algebraic closure of a finite field, and assume all iterates of $\sigma$ have finitely many fixed points. Steinberg gave a formula for the number of fixed points…
To test a possible relation between the topological entropy and the Arnold complexity, and to provide a non trivial example of a rational dynamical zeta function, we introduce a two-parameter family of two-dimensional discrete rational…
Let $F$ be a finite field of order $q$ and characteristic $p$. Let $\mathbb{Z}_F=F[t]$, $\mathbb{Q}_F=F(t)$, $\mathbb{R}_F=F((1/t))$ equipped with the discrete valuation for which $1/t$ is a uniformizer, and let…
The special uniformity of zeta functions claims that pure non-abelian zeta functions coincide with group zeta functions associated to the special linear groups. Naturally associated are three aspects, namely, the analytic, arithmetic, and…
The paper consists of four parts. Part I presents a brief survey of the Nielsen fixed point theory. Part II deals with dynamical zeta functions connected with Nielsen fixed point theory. Part III is concerned with congruences for the…
We propose a conjecture for the exact expression of the dynamical zeta function for a family of birational transformations of two variables, depending on two parameters. This conjectured function is a simple rational expression with integer…
This is an expository paper on the meromorphic continuation of zeta functions with Euler products (for example zeta functions of groups and height zeta functions) or without (for example the Goldbach zeta function). As an application we…
A characterization of dynamically defined zeta functions is presented. It comprises a list of axioms, natural extension of the one which characterizes topological degree, and a uniqueness theorem. Lefschetz zeta function is the main (and…
We show that the Ruelle dynamical zeta function on a closed odd dimensional locally symmetric space twisted by an arbitrary flat vector bundle has a meromorphic extension to the whole complex plane and that its leading term in the Laurent…
Dynamical systems generated by $d\ge2$ commuting homeomorphisms (topological $\mathbb{Z}^d$-actions) contain within them structures on many scales, and in particular contain many actions of $\mathbb{Z}^k$ for $1\le k\le d$. Familiar…
We study analytic properties of the representation zeta functions of arithmetic groups of type $\mathsf{A}_2$, such as $\textrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{Z})$. In particular, we uncover further poles of these functions and determine a natural boundary…
We prove a general criterion for an irrational power series $f(z)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_nz^n$ with coefficients in a number field $K$ to admit the unit circle as a natural boundary. As an application, let $F$ be a finite field,…
We study fixed points of iterates of dynamically affine maps (a generalisation of Latt\`es maps) over algebraically closed fields of positive characteristic $p$. We present and study certain hypotheses that imply a dichotomy for the…
Suppose $Y$ is a regular covering of a graph $X$ with covering transformation group $\pi = \mathbb{Z}$. This paper gives an explicit formula for the $L^2$ zeta function of $Y$ and computes examples. When $\pi = \mathbb{Z}$, the $L^2$ zeta…
