In the main part of this lecture, we will give an overview of the theory of fractal strings and of the associated complex fractal dimensions, with emphasis on the case of self-similar strings. ... These oscillations are expressed in terms of suitable explicit formulas (in the sense of number theory, but more general) and yield precise asymptotic expansions for certain geometric, dynamical or spectral counting functions associated to fractal strings. ...
