Zeta functions of geodesic flows 1995/96
The central topic of these lectures are some striking analytic
functions of one complex variable which are defined by the geodesics
in a Riemannian manifold. These zeta functions are geometrical analogs
of the Riemann zeta function and its generalisations in
arithmetics. Caused by their various interpretations they are related
to number theory, spectral theory of partial differential equations,
dynamical systems, Liegroups, mathematical physics
The short course (till April) is intended as an introduction to this
field. A main focus will be on the discussion of the interplay of the
various aspects of the theory and the resulting applications (including
recentones).
