A zeta function for flip systems

Young-One Kim, Jungseob Lee and Kyewon K. Park

Abstract:

In this paper, we investigate dynamical systems with flip maps, which can be regarded as infinite dihedral group actions. We introduce a zeta function for flip systems, and find its basic properties including a product formula. When the underlying $\mathbb{Z}$-action is conjugate to a topological Markov shift, the flip system is represented by a pair of matrices, and its zeta function is expressed explicitly in terms of the representation matrices.
