Fractal Geometry and Number Theory
Complex Dimensions of Fractal Strings and Zeros of Zeta Functions
- Hardcover
268 pages
- Release Date
10 December 1999
Summary
Number theory and fractal geometry are combined in this study of the vibrations of fractal strings. The book centres around a notion of complex dimension, originally developed for the proof of the Prime Number Theorem, and extended here to apply to the zeta functions associated with fractals.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This highly original self-contained book will appeal to geometers, fractalists, mathematical physicists and number theorists, as well as to graduate students in these fields and others interested in gaining insight into these rich areas either for its own sake or with a view to applications. They will find it a stimulating guide, well written in a clear and pleasant style.”
–Mathematical Reviews (Review of First Edition)
“It is the reviewer’s opinion that the authors have succeeded in showing that the complex dimensions provide a very natural and unifying mathematical framework for investigating the oscillations in the geometry and the spectrum of a fractal string. The book is well written. The exposition is self-contained, intelligent and well paced.”
–Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society (Review of First Edition)
“The new approach and results on the important problems illuminated in this work will appeal to researchers and graduate students in number theory, fractal geometry, dynamical systems, spectral geometry, and mathematical physics.”
