The Ruelle zeta function is a significant concept in dynamical systems and statistical mechanics, particularly in the study of chaotic systems and ergodic theory. It arises in the context of hyperbolic dynamical systems and is used to explore the statistical properties of these systems. ### Definition For a given dynamical system, particularly a hyperbolic system, the Ruelle zeta function is typically defined in relation to the periodic orbits of the system.
