Super-zeta functions and regularized determinants associated with cofinite Fuchsian groups with finite-dimensional unitary representations (Q829963)

Let \(S\) be a hyperbolic surface of finite volume and let \(\Delta\) be its Laplace-operator. For \(s\in\mathbb C\) with \(\operatorname{Re}(s)>1\), \textit{I. Efrat} showed in [Commun. Math. Phys. 119, No. 3, 443--451 (1988; Zbl 0661.10038)], that the product \(\prod_\sigma((\sigma(1-\sigma)-s(1-s))\) can be regularized, where \(\sigma\) runs over the set of all eigenvalues of \(\Delta\) and all scattering resonances. He called this product \(\det(\Delta-s(1-s))\) and showed that it essentially equals the Selberg zeta function. In the present paper it is shown that the products over the eigenvalues alone can also be regularized and the same holds for the resonances. This is done in a rather explicit form, ending up in a concise form of determinant expression.
