Abstract

Let Pk,mP_{k,m} denote the Poincar\'e series of weight kk and index mm for the full modular group SL2(Z)\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}), and let {Pk,m}\{P_{k,m}\} be a sequence of Poincar\'e series for which m(k)m(k) satisfies m(k)/km(k) / k \rightarrow\infty and m(k)k32ϵm(k) \ll k^{\frac{3}{2} - \epsilon}. We prove that the L2L^2 mass of such a sequence equidistributes on SL2(Z)\H\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}) \backslash \mathbb{H} with respect to the hyperbolic measure as kk goes to infinity. As a consequence, we deduce that the zeros of such a sequence {Pk,m}\{P_{k,m}\} become uniformly distributed in SL2(Z)\H\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}) \backslash \mathbb{H} with respect to the hyperbolic measure.
