Starting with Ihara's work in 1968, there has been a growing interest in the study of zeta functions of finite graphs, by Sunada, Hashimoto, Bass, Stark and Terras, Mizuno and Sato, to name just a few authors. Then, Clair and…

We bring together two apparently disconnected lines of research (of mathematical and of physical nature, respectively) which aim at the definition, through the corresponding zeta function, of the determinant of a differential operator…

In this paper we study spectral zeta functions associated to finite and infinite graphs. First we establish a meromorphic continuation of these functions under some general conditions. Then we study special values in the case of standard…

Let $M$ be a finite volume, non-compact hyperbolic Riemann surface, possibly with elliptic fixed points, and let $\chi$ denote a finite dimensional unitary representation of the fundamental group of $M$. Let $\Delta$ denote the hyperbolic…

We define a new weighted zeta function for a finite digraph and obtain its determinant expression called the Ihara expression. The graph zeta function is a generalization of the weighted graph zeta function introduced in previous research.…

We study analytic properties of the representation zeta functions of arithmetic groups of type $\mathsf{A}_2$, such as $\textrm{SL}_3(\mathbb{Z})$. In particular, we uncover further poles of these functions and determine a natural boundary…

We demonstrate that beyond the universal regime correlators of quantum spectral determinants $\Delta(\epsilon)=\det (\epsilon-\hat{H})$ of chaotic systems, defined through an averaging over a wide energy interval, are determined by the…

We define a divisorial motivic zeta function for stable curves with marked points which agrees with Kapranov's motivic zeta function when the curve is smooth and unmarked. We show that this zeta function is rational, and give a formula in…

We present a calculation of the zeta function and of the functional determinant for a Laplace-type differential operator, corresponding to a scalar field in a higher dimensional de Sitter brane background, which consists of a higher…

In this paper, we present formulas for the edge zeta function and the second weighted zeta function with respect to the group matrix of a finite abelian group $\Gamma $. Furthermore, we give another proof of Dedekind Theorem for the group…

In this note we pursue a discrete analogue of a celebrated theorem by Osgood, Phillips and Sarnak, which states that in a fixed conformal class of Riemannian metrics of fixed volume on a closed Riemann surface, the zeta-determinant of the…

This article describes a sequence of rational functions which converges locally uniformly to the zeta function. The numerators (and denominators) of these rational functions can be expressed as characteristic polynomials of matrices that…

We prove an asymptotic formula for the determinant of the bundle Laplacian on discrete $d$-dimensional tori as the number of vertices tends to infinity. This determinant has a combinatorial interpretation in terms of cycle-rooted spanning…

We present an explicit formula for the determinant on the Metzler matrix of a digraph $D$. Furthermore, we introduce a walk-type zeta function with respect to this Metzler matrix of the symmetric digraph of a finite torus, and express its…

A derivation of the spectral determinant of the Schr\"odinger operator on a metric graph is presented where the local matching conditions at the vertices are of the general form classified according to the scheme of Kostrykin and Schrader.…

We study the regularized determinant of the Laplacian as a functional on the space of Mandelstam diagrams (noncompact translation surfaces glued from finite and semi-infinite cylinders). A Mandelstam diagram can be considered as a compact…

In various contexts, the zeta function of an object splits into a product of $L$-functions. We categorify this product formula for quadratic covers of objects in the following contexts: quadratic extensions of number fields, ramified double…

This is the first of two papers in which we introduce and study two bivariate zeta functions associated to unipotent group schemes over rings of integers of number fields. One of these zeta functions encodes the numbers of isomorphism…

Let $\theta$ and $\theta'$ be a pair of exceptional representations in the sense of Kazhdan and Patterson [KP], of a metaplectic double cover of $GL_n$. The tensor $\theta\otimes\theta'$ is a (very large) representation of $GL_n$. We…

The connection zeta function of a finite abstract simplicial complex G is defined as zeta_L(s)=sum_x 1/lambda_x^s, where lambda_x are the eigenvalues of the connection Laplacian L defined by L(x,y)=1 if x and y intersect and 0 else. (I) As…
