Abstract

We show that the absolute value at zero of the Ruelle zeta function defined by the geodesic flow coincides with the higher-dimensional Reidemeister torsion for the unit tangent bundle over a 2-dimensional hyperbolic orbifold and a non-unitary representation of the fundamental group. Our proof is based on the integral expression of the Ruelle zeta function. This integral expression is derived from the functional equation of the Selberg zeta function for a discrete subgroup with elliptic elements in PSL2(). We also show that the asymptotic behavior of the higher-dimensional Reidemeister torsion is determined by the contribution of the identity element to the integral expression of the Ruelle zeta function.
