ZETA FUNCTIONS, TOPOLOGY AND QUANTUM PHYSICS Developments in Mathematics VOLUME 14 Series Editor: Krishnaswami Alladi, University of Florida, U.S.A. Aims and Scope Developments in Mathematics is a book series publishing (i) Proceedings of conferences dealing with the latest research advances, (ii) Research monographs, and (iii) Contributed volumes focusing on certain areas of special interest. Editors of conference proceedings are urged to include a few survey papers for wider appeal. Research monographs, which could be used as texts or references for graduate level courses, would also be suitable for the series. Contributed volumes are those where various authors either write papers or chapters in an organized volume devoted to a topic of speciaVcurrent interest or importance. A contributed volume could deal with a classical topic that is once again in the limelight owing to new developments.

The aims of this symposium were to establish mutual understanding and to exchange ideas among researchers working in various fields which have relation to zeta functions and zeta values. We are very happy to add this volume to the series Developments in Mathematics from Springer. In this respect, Professor Krishnaswami Alladi helped us a lot by showing his keen and enthusiastic interest in publishing this volume and by contributing his paper with Alexander Berkovich.
