The determinant of the Lax–Phillips scattering operator
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 70 (2020) no. 3, pp. 915-947.

Let M denote a finite volume, non-compact hyperbolic surface without elliptic points, and let B denote the Lax–Phillips scattering operator. Using the superzeta function approach due to Voros, we define a Hurwitz-type zeta function ζ B ± (s,z) constructed from the resonances associated to zI-[(1/2)I±B]. We prove the meromorphic continuation in s of ζ B ± (s,z) and, using the special value at s=0, define a determinant of the operators zI-[(1/2)I±B]. We obtain expressions for Selberg’s zeta function and the determinant of the scattering matrix in terms of the operator determinants.

Soit M une surface hyperbolique non compacte à volume fini sans points elliptiques, et soit B l’opérateur de diffusion de Lax–Phillips. En utilisant l’approche due à Voros sur la fonction superzeta, nous définissons une fonction zêta de type Hurwitz ζ B ± (s,z) construite à partir des résonances associées à zI-[(1/2)I±B]. Nous prouvons le prolongement méromorphe en le paramètre s de ζ B ± (s,z) et, en utilisant la valeur spéciale à s=0, définissons un déterminant des opérateurs zI-[(1/2)I±B]. Nous obtenons des expressions pour la fonction zêta de Selberg et le déterminant de la matrice de diffusion en termes de déterminants d’opérateurs.
