Abstract

We use B. Randol’s method to improve the error term in the prime geodesic theorem for a noncompact Riemann surface having at least one cusp. The case considered is a general one, corresponding to a Fuchsian group of the first kind and a multiplier system with a weight on it.

Summary

Preliminaries

Let X be a non-compact Riemann surface regarded as a quotient Γ \ of the upper half-plane by a finitely-generated Fuchsian group Γ ⊆ PSL (2, ) of the first kind, containing n1 ≥ 1 cusps. Let I denote the fundamental region of Γ. We shall assume that the fundamental region I of Γ has a finite non-Euclidean area I. For an r dimensional vector space V over we consider an essentially self-adjoint operator. The operator −∆m has the unique self-adjoint extension −∆ m to the space m , a dense subspace of. By mj we will denote the multiplicity of 1 as an eigen-value of the matrix ( ) n1. The discrete spectrum will be denoted as.
