Topic of the Workshop

   The investigation of zeta functions has a fundamental place in many areas (number theory, algebraic geometry,
group theory, graph theory, dynamical systems, partial differential equations...). Many problems from these areas
as problems of counting solutions of Diophantine equations can be reformulated in terms of analytic problems of
zeta functions like meromorphic continuation, description of poles, special values, etc...
This point of view, allows using the powerful analytic and geometrical methods (residues, integral representations,
singularities, etc...) in these areas.

   The focus of the workshop will be on some recent advances in the study of zeta functions. We hope to help
the specialists in remote fields, linked by the use of zeta functions, to exchange their experience.

   This workshop is funded by the CNRS and JSPS as part of the French-japanese project "multivariables zeta
functions and applications" and by the Labo. of Mathematics of Caen University (LMNO).
