Download or read book Zeta Functions of Groups and Rings written by Marcus du Sautoy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zeta functions have been a powerful tool in mathematics over the last two centuries. This book considers a new class of non-commutative zeta functions which encode the structure of the subgroup lattice in infinite groups. The book explores the analytic behaviour of these functions together with an investigation of functional equations. Many important examples of zeta functions are calculated and recorded providing an important data base of explicit examples and methods for calculation.
