Twisted Poincare Series and Zeta functions on finite quotients of buildings

In the case where $G=$SL$_{2}(F)$ for a non-archimedean local field $F$ and $Γ$ is a discrete torsion-free cocompact subgroup of $G$, there is a known relationship between the Ihara zeta function for the quotient of the Bruhat-Tits tree of $G$ by the action of $Γ$, and an alternating product of determinants of twisted Poincaré series for parabolic subgroups of the affine Weyl group of $G$. We show how this can be generalised to other split simple algebraic groups of rank two over $F$, and formulate a conjecture about how this might be generalised to groups of higher rank.

On spherical Monte Carlo simulations for multivariate normal probabilities

The calculation of multivariate normal probabilities is of great importance in many statistical and economic applications. This paper proposes a spherical Monte Carlo method with both theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. First, the multivariate normal probability is rewritten via an inner radial integral and an outer spherical integral by the spherical transformation. For the outer spherical integral, we apply an integration rule by randomly rotating a predetermined set of well-located points. To find the desired set, we derive an upper bound for the variance of the Monte Carlo estimator and propose a set which is related to the kissing number problem in sphere packings. For the inner radial integral, we employ the idea of antithetic variates and identify certain conditions so that variance reduction is guaranteed. Extensive Monte Carlo experiments on some probabilities calculation confirm these claims.

The Zeta Functions of Complexes from $\PGL(3)$: a Representation-theoretic Approach

The zeta function attached to a finite complex $X_Γ$ arising from the Bruhat-Tits building for $\PGL_3(F)$ was studied in \cite{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 $X_Γ$. 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.

Zeta Functions of Complexes Arising from PGL(3)

In this paper we obtain a closed form expression of the zeta function $Z(X_Γ, u)$ of a finite quotient $X_Γ= Γ\backslash PGL_3(F)/PGL_3(O_F)$ of the Bruhat-Tits building of $PGL_3$ over a nonarchimedean local field $F$. Analogous to a graph zeta function, $Z(X_Γ, u)$ is a rational function and it satisfies the Riemann hypothesis if and only if $X_Γ$ is a Ramanujan complex.

Toroidal Fullerenes with the Cayley Graph Structures

A central issue in molecular orbital theory is to compute the HOMO-LUMO gap of a molecule, which measures the excitability of the molecule. Thus it would be of interest to learn how to construct a molecule with the prescribed HOMO-LUMO gap. In this paper, we classify all possible structures of fullerene Cayley graphs and compute their spectrum. For any natural number $n$ not divisible by three, we show there exists an infinite family of fullerene graphs with the same HOMO-LUMO gap of size $\frac{2π}{\sqrt{3}n}+O(n^{-2})$. Finally, we discuss how to realize those families in three dimensional space.
