Analytic torsion, dynamical zeta function, and the Fried conjecture for admissible twists

Abstract: We show an equality between the analytic torsion and the absolute value at the zero point of the Ruelle dynamical zeta function on a closed odd dimensional locally symmetric space twisted by an acyclic flat vector bundle obtained by the restriction of a representation of the underlying Lie group. This generalises author's previous result for unitarily flat vector bundles, and the results of Br\"ocker, M\"uller, and Wotzke on closed hyperbolic manifolds.
