On the distribution of eigenvalues of Maass forms on certain moonshine groups


الملخص بالإنكليزية

In this paper we study, both analytically and numerically, questions involving the distribution of eigenvalues of Maass forms on the moonshine groups $Gamma_0(N)^+$, where $N>1$ is a square-free integer. After we prove that $Gamma_0(N)^+$ has one cusp, we compute the constant term of the associated non-holomorphic Eisenstein series. We then derive an average Weyls law for the distribution of eigenvalues of Maass forms, from which we prove the classical Weyls law as a special case. The groups corresponding to $N=5$ and $N=6$ have the same signature; however, our analysis shows that, asymptotically, there are infinitely more cusp forms for $Gamma_0(5)^+$ than for $Gamma_0(6)^+$. We view this result as being consistent with the Phillips-Sarnak philosophy since we have shown, unconditionally, the existence of two groups which have different Weyls laws. In addition, we employ Hejhals algorithm, together with recently developed refinements from [31], and numerically determine the first $3557$ of $Gamma_0(5)^+$ and the first $12474$ eigenvalues of $Gamma_0(6)^+$. With this information, we empirically verify some conjectured distributional properties of the eigenvalues.
