Fried conjecture for twisted Ruelle zeta functions of Anosov flows

About 2 years old · traced to

Let MM be a closed 33-manifold, let φ\varphi be a smooth transitive Anosov flow on MM, and let ρ\rho be an acyclic unitary representation of π1(M)\pi_1(M). Define the twisted Ruelle zeta function, initially for Re⁡s≫1\operatorname{Re} s\gg 1, by

ζφ,ρ(s)=∏γ primitive closed orbit of φdet⁡(I−e−sTγΔγρ(γ)),\zeta_{\varphi,\rho}(s)=\prod_{\gamma\text{ primitive closed orbit of }\varphi}\det\bigl(I-e^{-sT_\gamma}\Delta_\gamma\rho(\gamma)\bigr),

where TγT_\gamma is the length of γ\gamma and Δγ=±1\Delta_\gamma=\pm1 depends on the orientation of the unstable bundle over γ\gamma. The product admits a meromorphic continuation to C\mathbb{C}. Fried conjecture. The number ∣ζφ,ρ(0)∣−1|\zeta_{\varphi,\rho}(0)|^{-1} is a topological invariant of MM, namely the ρ\rho-twisted Reidemeister torsion of MM.
