Twisted Perron-Frobenius theorem and $$L$$-functions. (English) Zbl 0658.58034
A theorem of Perron-Frobenius type and its twisted version are established in a setting of topological graphs. The applications include a partial extension of Selberg’s celebrated results on his zeta function and a recent result by Parry and Pollicot on meromorphic continuations of dynamical zeta functions to certain $$L$$-functions associated with a dynamical system of Anosov type. Well-prepared background material with a lot of new information on topological graphs and Ruelle operators for topological graphs, on $$L$$-functions of finite/profinite graphs and on $$L$$-functions of Anosov flows is also presented.
