The Spectrum of an Adelic Markov Operator

Spectral Theory 2013-05-29 v1 Number Theory

Abstract

With the help of the representation of SL(2,Z) on the rank two free module over the integer adeles, we define the transition operator of a Markov chain. The real component of its spectrum exhibits a gap, whereas the non-real component forms a circle of radius 1/\sqrt{2}.
