Let $\Gamma_{w}$ be a non-cofinite Hecke triangle group with cusp width $w>2$ and let $\varrho\colon\Gamma_w\to U(V)$ be a finite-dimensional unitary representation of $\Gamma_w$. In this note we announce a new fractal upper bound for the…

We use the Selberg zeta function to study the limit behavior of resonances in a degenerating family of Kleinian Schottky groups. We prove that, after a suitable rescaling, the Selberg zeta functions converge to the Ihara zeta function of a…

This paper describes new results on the growth and zeros of the Ruelle zeta function for the Julia set of a hyperbolic rational map. It is shown that the zeta function is bounded by $\exp(C_K |s|^{\delta})$ in strips $|\Re s| \leq K$, where…

In this paper, we consider Hecke triangle groups $\Gamma_w$ for $w>2$ and associated infinite-volume orbifolds $\Gamma_w \backslash \mathbb{H}$. We show that the Selberg zeta function $Z_{\Gamma_w}(s)$ can be approximated for $s \in…

Given a holomorphic iterated function scheme with a finite symmetry group $G$, we show that the associated dynamical zeta function factorizes into symmetry-reduced analytic zeta functions that are parametrized by the unitary irreducible…

For all convex co-compact hyperbolic surfaces, we prove the existence of an essential spectral gap, that is a strip beyond the unitarity axis in which the Selberg zeta function has only finitely many zeroes. We make no assumption on the…

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 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 asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with hyperbolic trapped sets we prove a fractal upper bound on the number of resonances near the essential spectrum, with power determined by the dimension of the trapped set. This covers the case of…

Let $X$ be a convex co-compact hyperbolic surface and let $\delta$ be the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set of the underlying discrete group. We show that the density of the resonances of the Laplacian in strips ${\sigma\leq \re(s) \leq…

We describe a construction of Schottky type subgroups of automorphism groups of partially cyclically ordered sets. We apply this construction to the Shilov boundary of a Hermitian symmetric space and show that in this setting Schottky…

We consider the family of Hecke triangle groups $ \Gamma_{w} = \langle S, T_w\rangle $ generated by the M\"obius transformations $ S : z\mapsto -1/z $ and $ T_{w} : z \mapsto z+w $ with $ w > 2.$ In this case the corresponding hyperbolic…

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 present the first example of the Selberg type zeta function for noncompact higher rank locally symmetric spaces. We study certain Selberg type zeta functions and Ruelle type zeta functions attached to the Hilbert modular group of a real…

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…

Let $ X = \Gamma\setminus \mathbb{H} $ be a non-elementary geometrically finite hyperbolic surface and let $ \delta $ denote the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set $ \Lambda(\Gamma) $. We prove that for every $ \varepsilon > 0 $ the…

For convex co-compact subgroups of SL2(Z) we consider the "congruence subgroups" for p prime. We prove a factorization formula for the Selberg zeta function in term of L-functions related to irreducible representations of the Galois group…

For convex co-compact hyperbolic quotients $X=\Gamma\backslash\hh^{n+1}$, we analyze the long-time asymptotic of the solution of the wave equation $u(t)$ with smooth compactly supported initial data $f=(f_0,f_1)$. We show that, if the…

This papers deals with congruence subgroups of convex cocompact subgroups of PSL2(Z). We examine the behaviour of the resonance spectrum when the congruence parameter q goes to infinity: we show a lower bound for the counting function in…

We obtain an essential spectral gap for a convex co-compact hyperbolic surface $M=\Gamma\backslash\mathbb H^2$ which depends only on the dimension $\delta$ of the limit set. More precisely, we show that when $\delta>0$ there exists…
