Fractal Geometry, Complex Dimensions and Zeta Functions: Geometry and Spectra of Fractal Strings

by Michel L. Lapidus, Machiel Van Frankenhuijsen

Number theory, spectral geometry, and fractal geometry are interlinked in this study of the vibrations of fractal strings, that is, one-dimensional drums with fractal boundary. The Riemann hypothesis is given a natural geometric reformulation in context of vibrating fractal strings, and the book offers explicit formulas extended to apply to the geometric, spectral and dynamic zeta functions associated with a fractal.
