Ihara zeta function of infinite graphs and groups

Abstract:

We will define the analog of the Ihara zeta function for a Cayley graphof a finitely generated group. This will also be done for an infiniteregular graph which is a limit of a sequence of finite graphs.Interesting examples of computations based on spectral theory of fractalgroups will be considered. Some aspects of the computations are relatedto dynamical systems.
