The Notes give a direct approach to the Selberg zeta-function for cofinite discrete subgroups of SL (2,#3) acting on the upper half-plane. The basic idea is to

Representation theory, and more generally Lie theory, has played a very important role in many of the recent developments of mathematics and in the interaction

The original zeta function was studied by Riemann as part of his investigation of the distribution of prime numbers. Other sorts of zeta functions were defined

In this text, the famous zeros of the Riemann zeta function and its generalizations (L-functions, Dedekind and Selberg zeta functions)are analyzed through sever
