We study a log-gas on a network (a finite, simple graph) confined in a bounded subset of a local field (i.e. R, C, Q_{p} the field of p-adic numbers). In this gas, a log-Coulomb interaction between two charged particles occurs only when the sites of the particles are connected by an edge of the network. The partition functions of such gases turn out to be a particular class of multivariate local zeta functions attached to the network and a positive test function which is determined by the confining potential. The methods and results of the theory of local zeta functions allow us to establish that the partition functions admit meromorphic continuations in the parameter b{eta} (the inverse of the absolute temperature). We give conditions on the charge distributions and the confining potential such that the meromorphic continuations of the partition functions have a pole at a positive value b{eta}_{UV}, which implies the existence of phase transitions at finite temperature. In the case of p-adic fields the meromorphic continuations of the partition functions are rational functions in the variable p^{-b{eta}}. We give an algorithm for computing such rational functions. For this reason, we can consider the p-adic log-Coulomb gases as exact solvable models. We expect that all these models for different local fields share common properties, and that they can be described by a uniform theory.

From the viewpoint of quantum walks, the Ihara zeta function of a finite graph can be said to be closely related to its evolution matrix. In this note we introduce another kind of zeta function of a graph, which is closely related to, as to say, the square of the evolution matrix of a quantum walk. Then we give to such a function two types of determinant expressions and derive from it some geometric properties of a finite graph. As an application, we illustrate the distribution of poles of this function comparing with those of the usual Ihara zeta function.
We study fractality of unbounded sets of finite Lebesgue measure at infinity by introducing the notions of Minkowski dimension and content at infinity. We also introduce the Lapidus zeta function at infinity, study its properties and demonstrate its use in analysis of fractal properties of unbounded sets at infinity.
In this paper, whose aims are mainly pedagogical, we illustrate how to use the local zeta regularization to compute the stress-energy tensor of the Casimir effect. Our attention is devoted to the case of a neutral, massless scalar field in flat space-time, on a space domain with suitable (e.g., Dirichlet) boundary conditions. After a simple outline of the local zeta method, we exemplify it in the typical case of a field between two parallel plates, or outside them. The results are shown to agree with the ones obtained by more popular methods, such as point splitting regularization. In comparison with these alternative methods, local zeta regularization has the advantage to give directly finite results via analitic continuation, with no need to remove or subtract divergent quantities.
We study the essential singularities of geometric zeta functions $zeta_{mathcal L}$, associated with bounded fractal strings $mathcal L$. For any three prescribed real numbers $D_{infty}$, $D_1$ and $D$ in $[0,1]$, such that $D_{infty}<D_1le D$, we construct a bounded fractal string $mathcal L$ such that $D_{rm par}(zeta_{mathcal L})=D_{infty}$, $D_{rm mer}(zeta_{mathcal L})=D_1$ and $D(zeta_{mathcal L})=D$. Here, $D(zeta_{mathcal L})$ is the abscissa of absolute convergence of $zeta_{mathcal L}$, $D_{rm mer}(zeta_{mathcal L})$ is the abscissa of meromorphic continuation of $zeta_{mathcal L}$, while $D_{rm par}(zeta_{mathcal L})$ is the infimum of all positive real numbers $alpha$ such that $zeta_{mathcal L}$ is holomorphic in the open right half-plane ${{rm Re}, s>alpha}$, except for possible isolated singularities in this half-plane. Defining $mathcal L$ as the disjoint union of a sequence of suitable generalized Cantor strings, we show that the set of accumulation points of the set $S_{infty}$ of essential singularities of $zeta_{mathcal L}$, contained in the open right half-plane ${{rm Re}, s>D_{infty}}$, coincides with the vertical line ${{rm Re}, s=D_{infty}}$. We extend this construction to the case of distance zeta functions $zeta_A$ of compact sets $A$ in $mathbb{R}^N$, for any positive integer $N$.
Recently, the first author has extended the definition of the zeta function associated with fractal strings to arbitrary bounded subsets $A$ of the $N$-dimensional Euclidean space ${mathbb R}^N$, for any integer $Nge1$. It is defined by $zeta_A(s)=int_{A_{delta}}d(x,A)^{s-N},mathrm{d} x$ for all $sinmathbb{C}$ with $operatorname{Re},s$ sufficiently large, and we call it the distance zeta function of $A$. Here, $d(x,A)$ denotes the Euclidean distance from $x$ to $A$ and $A_{delta}$ is the $delta$-neighborhood of $A$, where $delta$ is a fixed positive real number. We prove that the abscissa of absolute convergence of $zeta_A$ is equal to $overlinedim_BA$, the upper box (or Minkowski) dimension of $A$. Particular attention is payed to the principal complex dimensions of $A$, defined as the set of poles of $zeta_A$ located on the critical line ${mathop{mathrm{Re}} s=overlinedim_BA}$, provided $zeta_A$ possesses a meromorphic extension to a neighborhood of the critical line. We also introduce a new, closely related zeta function, $tildezeta_A(s)=int_0^{delta} t^{s-N-1}|A_t|,mathrm{d} t$, called the tube zeta function of $A$. Assuming that $A$ is Minkowski measurable, we show that, under some mild conditions, the residue of $tildezeta_A$ computed at $D=dim_BA$ (the box dimension of $A$), is equal to the Minkowski content of $A$. More generally, without assuming that $A$ is Minkowski measurable, we show that the residue is squeezed between the lower and upper Minkowski contents of $A$. We also introduce transcendentally quasiperiodic sets, and construct a class of such sets, using generalized Cantor sets, along with Bakers theorem from the theory of transcendental numbers.
