Dynamical residues of Lorentzian spectral zeta functions

Abstract

We define a dynamical residue which generalizes the Guillemin-Wodzicki residue density of pseudo-differential operators. More precisely, given a Schwartz kernel, the definition refers to Pollicott-Ruelle resonances for the dynamics of scaling towards the diagonal. We apply this formalism to complex powers of the wave operator and we prove that residues of Lorentzian spectral zeta functions are dynamical residues. The residues are shown to have local geometric content as expected from formal analogies with the Riemannian case.
