The resonances in the problem of scattering on the fundamental domain of the modular group are related to the zeros of Riemann's ξ function on the critical line [1]. Therefore, the rate of decrease of the energy in the solution given by the Eisenstein series on the translationally invariant subspace is determined by the position of the zeros of the ξ function. Decrease of the energy can be expected only if there is mutual compensation of the terms of the series [2]. The question of corresponding compensations in the simpler situation in the complete space is therefore of interest.
