We present a numerical algorithm for the computation of invariant Ruelle distributions on convex co-compact hyperbolic surfaces. This is achieved by exploiting the connection between invariant Ruelle distributions and residues of…

Based on the need of studying the fractional boundary value problems by using variational methods, in this paper, we introduce a fundamental theory framework of fractional Sobolev space in one dimension, study the regularity of weak…

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…

This research expository article contains a survey of earlier work (in \S2--\S4) but also contains a main new result (in \S5), which we first describe. Given $c \geq 0$, the spectral operator $\mathfrak{a} = \mathfrak{a}_c$ can be thought…

We study the distribution of resonances for geometrically finite hyperbolic surfaces of infinite area by countting resonances numerically. The resonances are computed as zeros of the Selberg zeta function, using an algorithm for computation…

For hyperbolic Riemann surfaces of finite geometry, we study Selberg's zeta function and its relation to the relative scattering phase and the resonances of the Laplacian. As an application we show that the conjugacy class of a finitely…

We show that there exists $0<\alpha_0<1$ (depending on the parameters) such that the fractal percolation is almost surely purely $\alpha$-unrectifiable for all $\alpha>\alpha_0$.

This expository article, written for the proceedings of the Journ\'ees EDP (Roscoff, June 2017), presents recent work joint with Jean Bourgain [arXiv:1612.09040] and Long Jin [arXiv:1705.05019]. We in particular show that eigenfunctions of…

The Riemann zeta function at integer arguments can be written as an infinite sum of certain hypergeometric functions and more generally the same can be done with polylogarithms, for which several zeta functions are a special case. An…

We prove exponential decay of energy for solutions of the damped wave equation on compact hyperbolic surfaces with regular initial data as long as the damping is nontrivial. The proof is based on a similar strategy as in Dyatlov-Jin and in…

On a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ with boundary $Y$, we express the log of the zeta-determinant of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator acting on $q$-forms on $Y$ as the difference of the log of the zeta-determinant of the Laplacian on…

We show that each limiting semiclassical measure obtained from a sequence of eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on a compact hyperbolic surface is supported on the entire cosphere bundle. The key new ingredient for the proof is the fractal…

A spectral reformulation of the Riemann hypothesis was obtained in [LaMa2] by the second author and H. Maier in terms of an inverse spectral problem for fractal strings. This problem is related to the question "Can one hear the shape of a…

We study the Ruelle zeta function at zero for negatively curved oriented surfaces with boundary. At zero, the zeta function has a zero and its multiplicity is shown to be determined by the Euler characteristic of the surface. This is shown…

These notes are based on three lectures given by the second author at Copenhagen University (October 2009) and at Aarhus University, Denmark (December 2009). We mostly present here a survey of results of Dieter Mayer on relations between…

We prove that for any fixed real numbers y_1, y_2 not equal to 0, and constant C > 0, there exists a threshold T_* = T_*(y_1, y_2, C) > 0 such that for all T >= T_*, the interval [T, T(1 + epsilon)], with epsilon = exp(-C sqrt(log T)),…

A fractal construction shows that, for any beta>0, the beta-skeleton of a point set can have arbitrarily large dilation. In particular this applies to the Gabriel graph.

We prove that a self-similar Cantor set in $\mathbb{Z}_N \times \mathbb{Z}_N$ has a fractal uncertainty principle if and only if it does not contain a pair of orthogonal lines. The key ingredient in our proof is a quantitative form of…

We construct a sequence of boundary value problems on compact subsets of smooth noncompact hyperbolic surfaces of finite area. We prove that the sesquilinear forms associated to these boundary value problems are stable as well as consistent…

We prove some general Sobolev-type and related inequalities for positive operators A of given ultracontractive spectral decay, without assuming e^{-tA} is submarkovian. These inequalities hold on functions, or pure states, as usual, but…
