In this paper we express the equivariant torsion of an Hermitian locally symmetric space in terms of geometrical data from closed geodesics and their Poincaré maps.For a Hermitian locally symmetric space Y and a holomorphic isometry g we define a zeta function Z g (s) for (s) 0, whose definition involves closed geodesics and their Poincaré maps.We show that Z g extends meromorphically to the entire plane and that its leading coefficient at s = 0 equals the quotient of the equivariant torsion over the equivariant L 2torsion.
