Summary: Number theory, spectral geometry, and fractal geometry are interlinked in this in-depth study of the vibrations of fractal strings, that is, one-dimensional drums with fractal boundary.Key Features of this Second Edition:The Riemann hypothesis is given a natural geometric reformulation in the context of vibrating fractal stringsComplex dimensions of a fractal string, defined as the poles of an associated zeta function, are studied in detail, then used to understand the oscillations intrinsic to the corresponding fractal geometries and frequency spectraExplicit formulas are extended to apply to.
