Abstract: For proper group actions on smooth manifolds, with compact quotients, we define an equivariant version of the Ruelle dynamical $zeta$-function for equivariant flows satisfying a nondegeneracy condition. The construction is guided by an equivariant generalisation of Guillemin's trace formula. This involves an equivariant generalisation of the distributional flat trace appearing in Guillemin's formula. Our generalisation of Guillemin's formula implies several properties of the equivariant Ruelle $zeta$-function, and may be of independent interest. We ask the question in what situations an equivariant generalisation of Fried's conjecture holds, relating the equivariant Ruelle $zeta$-function to equivariant analytic torsion. We compute the equivariant Ruelle $zeta$-function in several examples, including examples where the classical Ruelle $zeta$-function is not defined. The equivariant Fried conjecture holds in the examples where the condition of the conjecture (vanishing of the kernel of the Laplacian) is satisfied.
