A Central Limit Theorem for Periodic Orbits of Hyperbolic Flows

Abstract: We consider a counting problem in the setting of hyperbolic dynamics. Let

p h i_{t} : L a m b d a o L a m b d a

be a weak mixing hyperbolic flow. We count the proportion of prime periodic orbits of

p h i_{t}

, with length less than

T

, that satisfy an averaging condition related to a H"older continuous function

f : L a m b d a o m a t h b b R

. We show, assuming an approximability condition on

p h i

, that as

T o i n f t y

, we obtain a central limit theorem.
