These are notes from a course given in Orsay in 2002 explaining carefully the Milnor-Thurston kneading determinant approach to dynamical zeta functions as interpreted by Baladi and Ruelle (Invent. Math. 1996). We make them available in view…
In this paper, we study the twisted Ruelle zeta function associated with the geodesic flow of a compact, hyperbolic, odd-dimensional manifold $X$. The twisted Ruelle zeta function is associated with an acyclic representation $\chi\colon…

Fried's conjecture is concerned with the behavior of dynamical zeta functions at the origin. For compact hyperbolic manifolds, Fried proved that for an orthogonal acyclic representation of the fundamental group, the twisted Ruelle zeta…
Let $X$ be a compact, hyperbolic surface of genus $g\geq 2$. In this paper, we prove that the twisted Selberg and Ruelle zeta functions, associated with an arbitrary, finite-dimensional, complex representation $\chi$ of $\pi_1(X)$ admit a…
We propose a field-theoretic interpretation of Ruelle zeta function, and show how it can be seen as the partition function for $BF$ theory when an unusual gauge fixing condition on contact manifolds is imposed. This suggests an alternative…

In recent years Lichtenbaum has conjectured a description for the special values of Hasse--Weil zeta functions in terms of ``Weil-\'etale cohomology''. In earlier papers we studied a class of foliated dynamical systems which had some…

We propose a conjecture for the exact expression of the dynamical zeta function for a family of birational transformations of two variables, depending on two parameters. This conjectured function is a simple rational expression with integer…
It is shown that the zeta functions of Ruelle and Selberg admit analytic continuation to meromorphic functions on the plane for every compact locally-symmetric space and every non-unitary twist.
We show that the Ruelle dynamical zeta function on a closed odd dimensional locally symmetric space twisted by an arbitrary flat vector bundle has a meromorphic extension to the whole complex plane and that its leading term in the Laurent…
In this paper, we generalize the partial fraction decomposition which is fundamental in the theory of multiple zeta values, and prove a relation between Tornheim's double zeta functions of three complex variables. As applications, we give…
In this note, we study the dynamics and associated zeta functions of conformally compact manifolds with variable negative sectional curvatures. We begin with a discussion of a larger class of manifolds known as convex co-compact manifolds…
