Recall the following definition <strong>of</strong> Gyoja’s for the L-function <strong>of</strong> any Coxeter<br />

system (W, S) with respect to a finite dimensional representation φ :<br />

H q (W, s) −→ End(V ) (where H q (W, s) is the associated Iwahori-Hecke algebra<br />

with the generator set {e w } (for all these definitions see [4].))<br />

L(W, S, φ, u) := ∑ w∈W<br />

φ(e w )u l(w)<br />

In the above l is the length function defined on W . L(W i , S, φ, u) could be<br />

defined similarly by replacing W with W i . My main goal is to generalise this<br />

beautiful formula ( as mentioned in [8]) to the higher dimensional case based<br />

on definitions discussed in 1) <strong>and</strong> 2) above. With such a suitable definition<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Zeta function Z( ˜X, u) for the finite regular hypergraph ˜X : Γ\X . , X .<br />

being the Bruhat-Tits building associated to GL(d, K ν ), we must have:<br />

Z( ˜X, u) = ∏ L(W I , S, ρ Γ , u) (−1)|I|<br />

I⊂S<br />

The pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> the above formula <strong>and</strong> the definitions it needs are being written<br />

up in detail <strong>and</strong> will appear as a paper in arXiv soon.<br />

Some interesting research Projects for the near future<br />

In [18] the so-called discrete quantum Fourier-transforms <strong>of</strong> the number states<br />

i.e. the superpositions:<br />

q−1<br />

∑<br />

|θ p >:= q −1/2<br />

n=0<br />

exp( 2iπpn )|n ><br />

q<br />

I believe that such states live in Ramanujan graphs, especially those associated<br />

to finite groups Z/NZ for suitable N, but the question is :<br />

How can one in general interpret such superpositions as vertices <strong>of</strong> suitable<br />

Ramanujan graphs? How can one use the deep results from representation<br />

theory <strong>and</strong> arithmetical group theory lying behind the Ramanujan property<br />

to the study <strong>of</strong> Cyclotomy or in general to associated physical phenomena?<br />

I also have ideas to generalise these connections even to higher dimensions.
