Abstract: We prove a dynamical wave trace formula for asymptotically hyperbolic (n+1) dimensional manifolds with negative (but not necessarily constant) sectional curvatures which equates the renormalized wave trace to the lengths of closed geodesics. A corollary of this dynamical trace formula is a dynamical resonance-wave trace formula for compact perturbations of convex co-compact hyperbolic manifolds which we use to prove a growth estimate for the length spectrum counting function. We next define a dynamical zeta function and prove its analyticity in a half plane. In our main result, we produce a prime orbit theorem for the geodesic flow. This is the first such result for manifolds which have neither constant curvature nor finite volume. As a corollary to the prime orbit theorem, using our dynamical resonance-wave trace formula, we show that the existence of pure point spectrum for the Laplacian on negatively curved compact perturbations of convex co-compact hyperbolic manifolds is related to the dynamics of the geodesic flow.

Review text

The first result in this paper obtained by the author is an important generalization of results of \textit{J. J. Duistermaat} and \textit{V. M. Guillemin} [Invent. Math. 29, 39--79 (1975; Zbl 0307.35071)] and \textit{M. S. Joshi} and \textit{A. Sá Barreto} [J. Funct. Anal. 184, No. 2, 291--312 (2001; Zbl 0997.58010)]. More precisely, for asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with variable negative curvature, a dynamical wave trace formula is proven. The formula equates the 0-trace (i.e. the renormalized wave trace which is the replacement of the standard wave trace for manifolds with infinite volume) to the lengths of closed geodesics. This formula along with the Poisson formula in [\textit{D. Borthwick}, Commun. Partial Differ. Equations 33, No. 8, 1507--1539 (2008; Zbl 1168.58012)] is used to produce a dynamical resonance-wave trace formula for compact perturbations of convex cocompact hyperbolic manifolds. The main result of the paper under review is a prime orbit theorem for the geodesic flow on negatively curved (i.e. all sectional curvatures being negative) asymptotically hyperbolic manifolds with positive topological entropy. Its importance is based on the fact that neither constant curvature nor finite volume are assumed. Applications of the prime orbit theorem are also discussed.
