We show that for any closed nonpositively curved Riemannian 4-manifold $M$ with vanishing Euler characteristic, the Ricci curvature must degenerate somewhere. Moreover, for each point $p\in M$, either the Ricci tensor degenerates or else…

For proper group actions on smooth manifolds, with compact quotients, we define an equivariant version of the Ruelle dynamical $\zeta$-function for equivariant flows satisfying a nondegeneracy condition. The construction is based on an…

We study closed manifolds with almost nonnegative curvature operator and address a question of Herrmann--Sebastian--Tuschmann concerning the sign of their Euler characteristic. Our main result shows that if a closed $2n$-dimensional…

In this work, singular surfaces are obtained from smooth orientable closed surfaces by applying three basic simple loop operations, collapsing operation, zipping operation and double loop identification, each of which produces different…

We show that the absolute value at zero of the Ruelle zeta function defined by the geodesic flow coincides with the higher-dimensional Reidemeister torsion for the unit tangent bundle over a 2-dimensional hyperbolic orbifold and a…

A connection between the zeta functions of zeros and poles of a meromorphic function has been established, and using it, a criterion for the absence of zeros has been derived. Sufficient conditions for the existence of zeros of sums of…

On the critical line the conditional distribution of the zeta function's magnitude around zeta zeros exists and predicts the well-known pair correlation between nontrivial zeta zeros. However, this conditional distribution does not exist at…

We prove Chern conjecture, which states that the Euler characteristic vanishes for closed flat affine manifolds. Our key innovation is a deformation argument for the Euler form.

In this paper, we give Hurwitz zeta distributions with $0 < \sigma \ne 1$ by using the Gamma function. During the proof process, we show that the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta (\sigma,a)$ does not vanish for all $0 <\sigma <1$ if and only if…

Fixing $t \in \mathbb{R}$ and a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of odd characteristic, we give an explicit upper bound on the proportion of genus $g$ hyperelliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_q$ whose zeta function vanishes at $\frac{1}{2} + it$.…

We show directly that the fractal uncertainty principle of Bourgain-Dyatlov [arXiv:1612.09040] implies that there exists $ \sigma > 0 $ for which the Selberg zeta function for a convex co-compact hyperbolic surface has only finitely many…

In this paper we study asymptotic properties of families of zeta and $L$-functions over finite fields. We do it in the context of three main problems: the basic inequality, the Brauer--Siegel type results and the results on distribution of…

For a wide class of Dirichlet series associated to automorphic forms, we show that those without Euler products must have zeros within the region of absolute convergence. For instance, we prove that if f is a classical holomorphic modular…

We first give a condition on the parameters $s,w$ under which the Hurwitz zeta function $\zeta(s,w)$ has no zeros and is actually negative. As a corollary we derive that it is nonzero for $w\geq 1$ and $s\in(0,1)$ and, as a particular…

It is a basic tenet in complex geometry that {\it negative} curvature corresponds, in a suitable sense, to the absence of rational curves on, say, a complex projective manifold, while {\it positive} curvature corresponds to the abundance of…

Spectral zeta functions $\zeta(s)$ for the massless scalar fields obeying the Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions on a surface of an infinite cylinder are constructed. These functions are defined explicitly in a finite domain of the…

We investigate in this paper the vanishing at $s=1$ of the twisted $L$-functions of elliptic curves $E$ defined over the rational function field $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ (where $\mathbb{F}_q$ is a finite field of $q$ elements and characteristic…

We prove the Kawamata-Viehweg vanishing theorem for a large class of divisors on surfaces in positive characteristic. By using this vanishing theorem, Reider-type theorems and extension theorems of morphisms for normal surfaces are…

We define reduced zeta functions of Lie algebras, which can be derived from motivic zeta functions using the Euler characteristic. We show that reduced zeta functions of Lie algebras possessing a suitably well-behaved basis are easy to…

This work considers the prime number races for non-constant elliptic curves $E$ over function fields. We prove that if $\mathrm{rank}(E) > 0$, then there exist Chebyshev biases towards being negative, and otherwise there exist Chebyshev…
