CTM/Zeta Correspondence

In our previous work, we investigated the relation between zeta functions and discrete-time models including random and quantum walks. In this paper, we introduce a zeta function for the continuous-time model (CTM) and consider CTMs including the corresponding random and quantum walks on the d-dimensional torus.

Vertex-Face/Zeta correspondence

We present the characteristic polynomial for the transition matrix of a vertex-face walk on a graph, and obtain its spectra. Furthermore, we express the characteristic polynomial for the transition matrix of a vertex-face walk on the 2-dimensional torus by using its adjacency matrix, and obtain its spectra. As an application, we define a new walk-type zeta function with respect to the transition matrix of a vertex-face walk on the 2-dimensional torus, and present its explicit formula.

IPS/Zeta Correspondence

Our previous works presented zeta functions by the Konno-Sato theorem or the Fourier analysis for one-particle models including random walks, correlated random walks, quantum walks, and open quantum random walks. This paper presents a zeta function for multi-particle models with probabilistic or quantum interactions, called the interacting particle system (IPS). The zeta function for the tensor-type IPS is computed.

The scattering matrix with respect to an Hermitian matrix of a graph

Recently, Gnutzmann and Smilansky presented a formula for the bond scattering matrix of a graph with respect to a Hermitian matrix. We present another proof for this Gnutzmann and Smilanskys formula by a technique used in the zeta function of a graph. Furthermore, we generalize Gnutzmann and Smilanskys formula to a regular covering of a graph. Finally, we define an $L$-fuction of a graph, and present a determinant expression. As a corollary, we express the generalization of Gnutzmann and Smilanskys formula to a regular covering of a graph by using its $L$-functions.

Walk/Zeta Correspondence

Our previous work presented explicit formulas for the generalized zeta function and the generalized Ihara zeta function corresponding to the Grover walk and the positive-support version of the Grover walk on the regular graph via the Konno-Sato theorem, respectively. This paper extends these walks to a class of walks including random walks, correlated random walks, quantum walks, and open quantum random walks on the torus by the Fourier analysis.

Grover/Zeta Correspondence based on the Konno-Sato theorem

Recently the Ihara zeta function for the finite graph was extended to infinite one by Clair and Chinta et al. In this paper, we obtain the same expressions by a different approach from their analytical method. Our new approach is to take a suitable limit of a sequence of finite graphs via the Konno-Sato theorem. This theorem is related to explicit formulas of characteristic polynomials for the evolution matrix of the Grover walk. The walk is one of the most well-investigated quantum walks which are quantum counterpart of classical random walks. We call the relation between the Grover walk and the zeta function based on the Konno-Sato theorem Grover/Zeta Correspondence here.

Zeta functions of periodic graphs derived from quantum walk

We define a zeta function of a finite graph derived from time evolution matrix of quantum walk, and give its determinant expression. Furthermore, we generalize the above result to a periodic graph.

A Characteristic Polynomial for The Transition Probability Matrix of A Correlated Random Walk on A Graph

We define a correlated random walk (CRW) induced from the time evolution matrix (the Grover matrix) of the Grover walk on a graph $G$, and present a formula for the characteristic polynomial of the transition probability matrix of this CRW by using a determinant expression for the generalized weighted zeta function of $G$. As applications, we give the spectrum of the transition probability matrices for the CRWs induced from the Grover matrices of regular graphs and semiregular bipartite graphs. Furthermore, we consider another type of the CRW on a graph.

A zeta function related to the transition matrix of the discrete-time quantum walk on a graph

We present the structure theorem for the positive support of the cube of the Grover transition matrix of the discrete-time quantum walk (the Grover walk) on a general graph $G$ under same condition. Thus, we introduce a zeta function on the positive support of the cube of the Grover transition matrix of $G$, and present its Euler product and its determinant expression. As a corollary, we give the characteristic polynomial for the positive support of the cube of the Grover transition matrix of a regular graph, and so obtain its spectra. Finally, we present the poles and the radius of the convergence of this zeta function.

Zeta functions with respect to general coined quantum walk of periodic graphs

We define a zeta function of a graph by using the time evolution matrix of a general coined quantum walk on it, and give a determinant expression for the zeta function of a finite graph. Furthermore, we present a determinant expression for the zeta function of an (infinite) periodic graph.
