AbstractLet φ be an Axiom A flow restricted to a basic set, let g be a C∞ function and let , where λg(τ) is the g length of the closest orbit τ, λ(τ) is the period of τ and h is the topological entropy of φ. We obtain an asymptotic formula for πg which includes the ‘prime number’ theorem for closed orbits. This result generalizes Bowen's theorem on the equidistribution of closed orbits. After establishing an analytic extension result for certain zeta functions the proofs proceed by orthodox number theoretical techniques.

In this paper we obtain a polynomial error term for the closed orbit counting function associated to certain hyperbolic flows. In the case of weak-mixing transitive Anosov flows no further conditions are required; for general weak-mixing hyperbolic flows a diophantine condition on the periods of the closed orbits is required.
