The quaternionic second weighted zeta function of a graph and the Study determinant

We establish a generalization of the second weighted zeta function of a graph to the case of quaternions. For an arc-weighted graph whose weights are quaternions, we define the second weighted zeta function by using the Study determinant that is a quaternionic determinant for quaternionic matrices defined by Study. This definition is regarded as a quaternionic analogue of the determinant expression of Hashimoto type for the Ihara zeta function of a graph. We derive the Study determinant expression of Bass type and the Euler product for the quaternionic second weighted zeta function.
