It is shown that the zeta functions of Ruelle and Selberg admit analytic continuation to meromorphic functions on the plane for every compact locally-symmetric space and every non-unitary twist.

The standard twist $F(s,\alpha)$ of $L$-functions $F(s)$ in the Selberg class has several interesting properties and plays a central role in the Selberg class theory. It is therefore natural to study its finer analytic properties, for…

Let $\Gamma\backslash\mathbb H^3$ be a finite-volume quotient of the upper-half space, where $\Gamma\subset {\rm SL}(2,\mathbb C)$ is a discrete subgroup. To a finite dimensional unitary representation $\chi$ of $\Gamma$ one associates the…

In this note we introduce zeta functions and L-functions for discrete and faithful representations of surface groups in PSL(d, R), for d >= 3. These are natural generalizations of the wellknown classical Selberg zeta function and L-function…

In this paper, we study the Selberg and Ruelle zeta functions on compact hyperbolic odd dimensional manifolds. These zeta functions are defined on one complex variable $s$ in some right half-plane of $\mathbb{C}$. We use the Selberg trace…

For geometrically finite non-compact developable hyperbolic orbisurfaces (including those of infinite volume), we provide transfer operator families whose Fredholm determinants are identical to the Selberg zeta function. Our proof yields an…

For a germ of a meromorphic function f=P/Q, we offer notions of the monodromy operators at zero and at infinity. If the holomorphic functions P and Q are non-degenerated with respect to their Newton diagrams, we give an analogue of the…

The goal of the course was a review of results mainly due to M. Olbrich and the first author. We consider a discrete cocompact subgroup $\Gamma$ of a semisimple Lie group $G$. We relate the group cohomology of $\Gamma$ with coefficients in…

We introduce new zeta functions related to an endomorphism $\phi$ of a discrete group $\Gamma$. They are of two types: counting numbers of fixed ($\rho\sim \rho\circ\phi^n$) irreducible representations for iterations of $\phi$ from an…

The transfer operator for $\Gamma_0(N)$ and trivial character $\chi_0$ possesses a finite group of symmetries generated by permutation matrices $P$ with $P^2=id$. Every such symmetry leads to a factorization of the Selberg zeta function in…
