Abstract

In this chapter we will discuss a transfer operator for the geodesic flow on hyperbolic surfaces, which Fredholm determinant gives the Selberg zeta function. The transfer operators we are interested in are a so-called nuclear operators of order zero, these operators have a well defined trace and can be approximated by operators of finite rank. Transfer operators can be also regarded as composition operators, for which an explicit trace formula can be found.
