Abstract

Let Γ\Gamma be a cofinite Fuchsian subgroup. The canonical Green's function associated with Γ\Gamma arises in Arakelov theory when establishing asymptotics for Arakelov invariants of the modular curve associated with some congruence subgroup of level NN with a positive integer NN. More precisely, in the known cases, canonical Green's functions at certain cusps contribute to the analytic part of the asymptotics for the self-intersection of the relative dualizing sheaf. In this article, we prove canonical Green's function of a cofinite Fuchsian subgroup at cusps bounded by the scattering constants, the Kronecker limit functions, and the Selberg zeta function of the group Γ\Gamma. Then as an application, we prove an asymptotic expression of the canonical Green's function associated with Γ0(N)\Gamma_0(N), for any positive integer NN.
