Abstract

We give an account of a portion of the spectral theory ΓSL(2, ℝ), particularly the Selberg trace formula, emphasizing ideas from representation theory. For simplicity, we will treat the trace formula only in the case of a compact quotient. The last section is of a different nature, intended to show a simple application of the trace formula to a lifting problem.
