The Selberg zeta function for convex co-compact Schottky groups
英文摘要：
We give a new upper bound on the Selberg zeta function for a convex co-compact Schottky group acting on $ {\mathbb H}^{n+1}$: in strips parallel to the imaginary axis the zeta function is bounded by $ \exp (C |s|^δ) $ where $ δ$ is the dimension of the limit set of the group. This bound is more precise than the optimal global bound $ \exp (C |s|^{n+1}) $, and it gives new bounds on the number of resonances (scattering poles) of $ Γ\backslash {\mathbb H}^{n+1} $. The proof of this result is based on the application of holomorphic $ L^2$-techniques to the study of the determinants of the Ruelle transfer operators and on the quasi-self-similarity of limit sets. We also study this problem numerically and provide evidence that the bound may be optimal. Our motivation comes from molecular dynamics and we consider $ Γ\backslash {\mathbb H}^{n+1} $ as the simplest model of quantum chaotic scattering. The proof of this result is based on the application of holomorphic $L^2$-techniques to the study of the determinants of the Ruelle transfer operators and on the quasi-self-similarity of limit sets.
