Determinants Of Transfer

By a transfer operator approach to Maass cusp forms and the Selberg zeta function for cofinite Hecke triangle groups, Möller and the present author found a factorization of the Selberg zeta function into a product of Fredholm determinants of transfer-operator-like families:$$\begin{eqnarray}Z(s)=\det (1-{\mathcal{L}}_{s}^{+})\det (1-{\mathcal{L}}_{s}^{-}).\end{eqnarray}$$In this article we show that the operator families${\mathcal{L}}_{s}^{\pm }$arise as families of transfer operators for the triangle groups underlying the Hecke triangle groups, and that for$s\in \mathbb{C}$,$\text{Re}s={\textstyle \frac{1}{2}}$, the operator${\mathcal{L}}_{s}^{+}$(respectively${\mathcal{L}}_{s}^{-}$) has a 1-eigenfunction if and only if there exists an even (respectively odd) Maass cusp form with eigenvalue$s(1-s)$. For non-arithmetic Hecke triangle groups, this result provides a new formulation of the Phillips–Sarnak conjecture on non-existence of even Maass cusp forms.

Automorphic Functions

Over the last few years Pohl (partly jointly with coauthors) has developed dual ‘slow/fast’ transfer operator approaches to automorphic functions, resonances, and Selberg zeta functions for a certain class of hyperbolic surfaces $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}\backslash \mathbb{H}$ with cusps and all finite-dimensional unitary representations $\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}$ of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$. The eigenfunctions with eigenvalue 1 of the fast transfer operators determine the zeros of the Selberg zeta function for $(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4},\unicode[STIX]{x1D712})$. Further, if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$ is cofinite and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}$ is the trivial one-dimensional representation then highly regular eigenfunctions with eigenvalue 1 of the slow transfer operators characterize Maass cusp forms for $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$. Conjecturally, this characterization extends to more general automorphic functions as well as to residues at resonances. In this article we study, without relying on Selberg theory, the relation between the eigenspaces of these two types of transfer operators for any Hecke triangle surface $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}\backslash \mathbb{H}$ of finite or infinite area and any finite-dimensional unitary representation $\unicode[STIX]{x1D712}$ of the Hecke triangle group $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$. In particular, we provide explicit isomorphisms between relevant subspaces. This solves a conjecture by Möller and Pohl, characterizes some of the zeros of the Selberg zeta functions independently of the Selberg trace formula, and supports the previously mentioned conjectures.

AbstractWe characterize Maass cusp forms for any cofinite Hecke triangle group as 1-eigenfunctions of appropriate regularity of a transfer operator family. This transfer operator family is associated to a certain symbolic dynamics for the geodesic flow on the orbifold arising as the orbit space of the action of the Hecke triangle group on the hyperbolic plane. Moreover, we show that the Selberg zeta function is the Fredholm determinant of the transfer operator family associated to an acceleration of this symbolic dynamics.

AbstractWe develop a Ruelle–Perron–Fröbenius transfer operator approach to the ergodic theory of a large class of non-uniformly expanding transformations on compact manifolds. For Hölder continuous potentials not too far from constant, we prove that the transfer operator has a positive eigenfunction, which is piecewise Hölder continuous, and use this fact to show that there is exactly one equilibrium state. Moreover, the equilibrium state is a non-lacunary Gibbs measure, a non-uniform version of the classical notion of Gibbs measure that we introduce here.
