Normal modes in thermal AdS via the Selberg zeta function

Journal Article · · SciPost Physics

The heat kernel and quasinormal mode methods of computing 1-loop partition functions of spin s s fields on hyperbolic quotient spacetimes \mathbb{H}^{3}/\mathbb{Z} 3 / are related via the Selberg zeta function. We extend that analysis to thermal \text{AdS}_{2n+1} AdS 2 n + 1 backgrounds, with quotient structure \mathbb{H}^{2n+1}/\mathbb{Z} 2 n + 1 / . Specifically, we demonstrate the zeros of the Selberg function encode the normal mode frequencies of spin fields upon removal of non-square-integrable modes. With this information we construct the 1-loop partition functions for symmetric transverse traceless tensors in terms of the Selberg zeta function and find exact agreement with the heat kernel method.
