Twisted Perron-Frobenius theorem and \(L\)-functions (Q1111217)

A theorem of Perron-Frobenius type and its twisted version are established in a setting of topological graphs. The applications include a partial extension of Selberg's celebrated results on his zeta function and a recent result by Parry and Pollicot on meromorphic continuations of dynamical zeta functions to certain \(L\)-functions associated with a dynamical system of Anosov type. Well-prepared background material with a lot of new information on topological graphs and Ruelle operators for topological graphs, on \(L\)-functions of finite/profinite graphs and on \(L\)-functions of Anosov flows is also presented.
