Hypergraph coverings and their zeta functions (Q668031)

Summary: Let \(H\) be a finite hypergraph. The concept of hypergraph coverings over \(H\) is introduced, and we can generate all hypergraph coverings by permutation voltage assignments of the edge-colored graph or the incidence graph of \(H\). Consequently, we show two explicit decomposition formulae for the zeta function of any hypergraph covering \(\overline{H}\) over \(H\) which indicates that the zeta function of \(H\) divides the zeta function of \(\overline{H}\).
