In his 1996 paper [Q. J. Math., Oxf. II. Ser. 47, 435-453 (1996; Zbl 1058.11543)] the author showed that a geometric zeta-function of a locally symmetric space of rank one can be represented in the form of a quotient as \(\frac{\det (\Delta+ P(s))} {\det_\Gamma (\Delta+ P(s))}\) where \(P\) is a polynomial, \(\Delta\) a generalized Laplacian, det denotes the determinant and \(\det_\Gamma\) denotes the \(L^2\)-determinant. The combinatorial analogue of these geometric zeta-functions are the zeta functions of finite graphs. Using certain results of H. Bass and W. Lück he proves in this paper that the zeta-functions of a regular graph can be represented in a similar fashion as the quotient of a determinant over an \(L^2\)-determinant of the combinatorial Laplacian.
