Counting closed orbits of hyperbolic diffeomorphisms (Q2477601)

The authors counts closed orbits of a hyperbolic diffeomorphism restricted to a basic set, involving two types of extensions (a finite group extension and an automorphism extension). The theory includes Chebotarev type theorems and prime orbit theorems for such diffeomorphisms. The main counting results are in the form of asymptotic formulae obtained by resorting to symbolic dynamics.
