Fixed point theory and the K-theoretic trace

Ross Geoghegan, Andrew Nicas (1999)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

The relationship between fixed point theory and K-theory is explained, both classical Nielsen theory (versus K 0 ) and 1-parameter fixed point theory (versus K 1 ). In particular, various zeta functions associated with suspension flows are shown to come in a natural way as “traces” of “torsions” of Whitehead and Reidemeister type.

A note on functional equations for zeta functions with values in Chow motives

Franziska Heinloth (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We consider zeta functions with values in the Grothendieck ring of Chow motives. Investigating the λ –structure of this ring, we deduce a functional equation for the zeta function of abelian varieties. Furthermore, we show that the property of having a rational zeta function satisfying a functional equation is preserved under products.

On analytic torsion over C*-algebras

Alan Carey, Varghese Mathai, Alexander Mishchenko (1999)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

In this paper, we present an analytic definition for the relative torsion for flat C*-algebra bundles over a compact manifold. The advantage of such a relative torsion is that it is defined without any hypotheses on the flat C*-algebra bundle. In the case where the flat C*-algebra bundle is of determinant class, we relate it easily to the L^2 torsion as defined in [7],[5].

An introduction to the abelian Reidemeister torsion of three-dimensional manifolds

Gwénaël Massuyeau (2011)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

Similarity:

These notes accompany some lectures given at the autumn school “” in October 2009. The abelian Reidemeister torsion for 3 -manifolds, and its refinements by Turaev, are introduced. Some applications, including relations between the Reidemeister torsion and other classical invariants, are surveyed.

On the zeta functions of prehomogeneous vector spaces for a pair of simple algebras

Takashi Taniguchi (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

In this paper we consider the prehomogeneous vector space for a pair of simple algebras which are inner forms of the D 4 type and the E 6 type. We mainly study the non-split cases. The main purpose of this paper is to determine the principal parts of the global zeta functions associated with these spaces when the simple algebras are non-split. We also give a description of the sets of rational orbits of these spaces, which clarifies the expected density theorems arising from the properties...
