Thermodynamic formalism and Selberg's zeta function for modular groups (Q5945480)

Selberg's zeta function for the modular group \(\text{PSL}(2,{\mathbb Z})\) can be expressed by the Fredholm determinant of the generalized Ruelle transfer operator for the geodesic flow on the modular surface corresponding to \(\text{PSL}(2,{\mathbb Z})\). The authors generalize this result by proving that Selberg's zeta function for any modular subgroup \(G\) of \(\text{PSL}(2,{\mathbb Z})\) of finite index can be expressed by the generalized transfer operator.
