Lefschetz zeta function

Definition(s)

In mathematics, the Lefschetz zeta-function is a tool used in topological periodic and fixed point theory, and dynamical systems. Given a continuous map ${\\displaystyle f\\colon X\ o X}$ , the zeta-function is defined as the formal series

${\\displaystyle \\zeta _{f}(t)=\\exp \\left(\\sum _{n=1}^{\\infty }L(f^{n}){\ rac {t^{n}}{n}}\ ight),}$

where ${\\displaystyle L(f^{n})}$ is the Lefschetz number of the ${\\displaystyle n}$ -th iterate of ${\\displaystyle f}$ . This zeta-function is of note in topological periodic point theory because it is a single invariant containing information about all iterates of ${\\displaystyle f}$ .
