We consider a general class of two-dimensional lattice sums consisting of complex powers s of inverse quadratic functions. We consider two cases, one where the quadratic function is negative definite and another more restricted case where it is positive definite. In the former, we use a representation due to H. Kober, and consider the limit u →∞, where the lattice becomes ever more elongated along one period direction (the one-dimensional limit). In the latter, we use an explicit evaluation of the sum due to Zucker and Robertson. In either case, we show that the one-dimensional limit of the sum is given in terms of ζ (2 s ) if Re( s )>1/2 and either ζ (2 s −1) or ζ (2−2 s ) if Re( s )<1/2. In either case, this leads to a Riemann property of these sums in the one-dimensional limit: their zeros must lie on the critical line Re( s )=1/2. We also comment on a class of sums that involve complex powers of the distance to points in a two-dimensional square lattice and trigonometric functions of their angle. We show that certain of these sums can have their zeros on the critical line but not in a neighbourhood of it; others are identically zero on it, while still others have no zeros on it.

A description of the properties of L -series with complex characters is given. By using these, together with the more familiar L -series with real characters, it is shown how certain two-dimensional lattice sums, which previously could not be put into closed form, may now be expressed in this way.

It is shown that, in the three-dimensional lattice gravity defined by Ponzano and Regge, the space of physical states is isomorphic to the space of gauge-invariant functions on the moduli space of flat SU(2) connections over a two-dimensional surface, which gives physical states in the ISO(3) Chern–Simons gauge theory. To prove this, we employ the q-analogue of this model defined by Turaev and Viro as a regularization to sum over states. A recent work by Turaev suggests that the q-analogue model itself may be related to an Euclidean gravity with a cosmological constant proportional to 1/k2, where q=e2πi/(k+2).
