Cogrowth of groups and a matrix of Redheffer (Q1369348)

Let \(G\) be a group given by a presentation \(G=F/N\), where \(F\) is free with basis \(B=\{a_1,\dots,a_n\}\). For \(g\in G\) and \(c\in B^{\pm 1}\) let \(W(k,g,c)\) be the set of words in \(F\) having freely reduced length \(k\), which end in \(c\) and which represent \(g\). Let \(w(k,g,c)=|W(k,g,c)|\). We call the function \(\Gamma(k)=\sum_{c\in B^{\pm 1}} w(k,\text{id}_G,c)\) the cogrowth function for this presentation \(G=F/N\). Here, for a torsion-free group \(G\), a relationship is described between \(\Gamma(k)\) and the Riemann hypothesis.
