In a recent joint work with V. Turaev (cf. math.DG/9810114) we defined a new concept of combinatorial torsion which we called absolute torsion. Compared with the classical Reidemeister torsion it has the advantage of having a well-defined…

From a path integral point of view (e.g. \cite{Q98}) physicists have shown how {\it duality} in antisymmetric quantum field theories on a closed space-time manifold $M$ relies in a fundamental way on Fourier Transformations of formal…

The equivariant holomorphic torsion of a compact locally symmetric manifold and an automorphism is expressed as a special value of a zeta function built out of geometric data (closed geodesics) of the manifold.

Let X be a regular scheme, projective and flat over the integers. Let A be the constant in the conjectured functional equation for the zeta-function of X. We give a conjecture computing A in terms of Euler characteristics of derived…

We derive a lower bound for a second moment of the reciprocal of the derivative of the Riemann zeta-function averaged over the zeros of the zeta-function that is half the size of the conjectured value. Our result is conditional upon the…

We consider the prehomogeneous vector space of pairs of ternary quadratic forms. For the lattice of pairs of integral ternary quadratic forms and its dual lattice, there are six zeta functions associated with the the prehomogeneous vector…

We prove a mixed joint discrete universality theorem for a Matsumoto zeta-function $\varphi(s)$ (belonging to the Steuding subclass) and a periodic Hurwitz zeta-function $\zeta(s,\alpha;{\mathfrak{B}})$. For this purpose, certain…

Given a number field $F$ with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_{F}$, one can associate to any torsion free subgroup of $\operatorname{SL}(2,\mathcal{O}_{F})$ of finite index a complete Riemannian manifold of finite volume with fibered cusp…

We define an (equivariant) quaternionic analytic torsion for antiselfdual vector bundles on quaternionic Kaehler manifolds, using ideas by Leung and Yi. We compute this torsion for vector bundles on quaternionic homogeneous spaces with…

In this article, we introduce a systematic new method to investigate the conjectural p-adic meromorphic continuation of Professor Bernard Dwork's unit root zeta function attached to an ordinary family of algebraic varieties defined over a…

We establish a connection between the coefficients of Artin-Mazur zeta-functions and Kummer congruences. This allows to settle positively the question of the existence of a map T such that the number of fixed points of the n-th iterate of T…

Begin with the Hasse-Weil zeta-function of a smooth projective variety over the rational numbers. Replace the variety with a finite CW-complex, replace etale cohomology with complex K-theory $KU^*$, and replace the $p$-Frobenius operator…

We prove an equivalent of the Riemann hypothesis in terms of the functional equation (in its asymmetrical form) and the $a$-points of the zeta-function, i.e., the roots of the equation $\zeta(s)=a$, where $a$ is an arbitrary fixed complex…

We show that any derived equivalent smooth, projective varieties of dimension 3 over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ have equal zeta functions. This result is an application of the extension to smooth, projective varieties over any field of…

We define a compressed zero-divisor graph $\varTheta(K)$ of a finite commutative unital ring $K$, where the compression is performed by means of the associatedness relation. We prove that this is the best possible compression which induces…

We introduce new non-abelian zeta functions for curves defined over finite fields. There are two types, i.e., pure non-abelian zetas defined using semi-stable bundles, and group zetas defined for pairs consisting of (reductive group,…

In 1973 Montgomery formulated the pair correlation conjecture, predicting that the local spacing statistics of the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function coincide with those of eigenvalues of large Hermitian matrices from the…

For smooth hyperbolic dynamical systems and smooth weights, we relate Ruelle transfer operators with dynamical Fredholm determinants and dynamical zeta functions: First, we establish bounds for the essential spectral radii of the transfer…

The refined analytic torsion on compact Riemannian manifolds with boundary has been discussed by B. Vertman and the authors, but these two constructions are completely different. Vertman used a double of de Rham complex consisting of the…

In this paper, we introduce and study two new types of non-abelian zeta functions for curves over finite fields, which are defined by using (moduli spaces of) semi-stable vector bundles and non-stable bundles. A Riemann-Weil type hypothesis…
