In this book the seminal 1970 Moscow thesis of Grigoriy A. Margulis is published for the first time. Entitled "On Some Aspects of the Theory of Anosov Systems", it uses ergodic theoretic techniques to study the distribution of periodic orbits of Anosov flows. The thesis introduces the "Margulis measure" and uses it to obtain a precise asymptotic formula for counting periodic orbits. This has an immediate application to counting closed geodesics on negatively curved manifolds. The thesis also contains asymptotic formulas for the number of lattice points on universal coverings  of compact manifolds of negative curvature.
The thesis is complemented by a survey by Richard Sharp, discussing more recent developments in the theory of periodic orbits for hyperbolic flows, including the results obtained in the light of Dolgopyat's breakthroughs on bounding transfer operators and rates of mixing.

Aus den Rezensionen:

"… Der Übersichtsartikel beschränkt sich … auf den Teil der Margulis‘schen Dissertation, der bisher unveröffentlicht war … Er ist ... präzise geschrieben, was den Vorteil besitzt, dass der Leser einen schnellen Überblick über die Entwicklung der Forschung in Bezug auf die Margulis‘sche Formel erhält. … Das Buch besitzt unschätzbaren Wert für alle [sic] die sich mit dynamischen Systemen, hyperbolischer Geometrie … beschäftigen. Ebenso sollte es für alle von Interesse sein, die sich für Meilensteine der [sic] mathematischen Fortschrittes interessieren. Keinesfalls sollte dieses Buch in Fachbibliotheken fehlen." (M. Denker, in: Jahrebericht der Deutschen Mathematiker Vereinigung, 2007, Vol. 109, Issue 2, S. 18 f.)
