The Zeta Functions of Complexes from (3): a Representation-theoretic Approach
Abstract
The zeta function attached to a finite complex X arising from the Bruhat-Tits building for 3(F) was studied in KL, where a closed form expression was obtained by a combinatorial argument. This identity can be rephrased using operators on vertices, edges, and directed chambers of X. In this paper we reprove the zeta identity from a different aspect by analyzing the eigenvalues of these operators using representation theory. As a byproduct, we obtain equivalent criteria for a Ramanujan complex in terms of the eigenvalues of the operators on vertices, edges, and directed chambers, respectively.
