Abstract

Given an acyclic and unitarily flat vector bundle on a closed manifold, Fried conjectured an equality between the analytic torsion and the value at zero of the Ruelle zeta function associated to a dynamical flow. In this survey, we review the Fried conjecture for different flows, including the suspension flow, the Morse–Smale flow, the geodesic flow, and the Anosov flow.
