Graded skew-commutative rings occur often in practice. Here are two examples: 1) The cohomology ring of a compact three-dimensional manifold. 2) The cohomology ring of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement (the Orlik-Solomon algebra).…
Any action of a group $\Gamma$ on $\mathbb H^3$ by isometries yields a class in degree three bounded cohomology by pulling back the volume cocycle to $\Gamma$. We prove that the bounded cohomology of finitely generated Kleinian groups…

A general conjecture of Harder relates the denominator of the Eisenstein cohomology of certain locally symmetric spaces to special values of $L$-functions. In this paper we consider the locally symmetric space…
For hyperbolic Riemann surfaces of finite geometry, we study Selberg's zeta function and its relation to the relative scattering phase and the resonances of the Laplacian. As an application we show that the conjugacy class of a finitely…
The goal of the course was a review of results mainly due to M. Olbrich and the first author. We consider a discrete cocompact subgroup $\Gamma$ of a semisimple Lie group $G$. We relate the group cohomology of $\Gamma$ with coefficients in…
In this article we survey and describe various aspects of the geometry and arithmetic of Kleinian groups - discrete nonelementary groups of isometries of hyperbolic $3$-space. In particular we make a detailed study of two-generator groups…
We show convergence of small eigenvalues for geometrically finite hyperbolic $n$-manifolds under strong limits. For a class of convergent convex sets in a strongly convergent sequence of Kleinian groups, we use the spectral gap of the limit…
In this paper we consider the cohomology of a closed arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifold with coefficients in the local system defined by the even symmetric powers of the standard representation of SL(2,C). The cohomology is defined over the…
In this paper, we prove a discrete analog of the Selberg Trace Formula for the group $\text{GL}_{3}(\mathbb{F}_q).$ By considering a cubic extension of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, we define an analog of the upper half space and an…
We define Lie subalgebras of the group algebra of a finite pseudo-reflection group that are involved in the definition of the Cherednik KZ-systems, and determine their structure. We provide applications for computing the Zariski closure of…
We study the error bound for a smooth weighted prime number theorem, and its implication to the zero-free region for the Riemann zeta function using the method of Pintz. We also give an application to the average number of smooth weighted…
For $\Gamma={\hbox{PSL}_2( {\mathbb Z})}$ the hyperbolic circle problem aims to estimate the number of elements of the orbit $\Gamma z$ inside the hyperbolic disc centered at $z$ with radius $\cosh^{-1}(X/2)$. We show that, by averaging…
Our main result is that for all sufficiently large $x_0>0$, the set of commensurability classes of arithmetic hyperbolic 2- or 3-orbifolds with fixed invariant trace field $k$ and systole bounded below by $x_0$ has density one within the…
Let $X(D,1) =\Gamma(D,1) \backslash \mathbb{H}$ denote the Shimura curve of level $N=1$ arising from an indefinite quaternion algebra of fixed discriminant $D$. We study the discrete average of the error term in the hyperbolic circle…
We examine closed geodesics in the quotient of hyperbolic three space by the discrete group of isometries SL(2,Z[i]). There is a correspondence between closed geodesics in the manifold, the complex continued fractions originally studied by…
Ambient prime geodesic theorems provide an asymptotic count of closed geodesics by their length and holonomy and imply effective equidistribution of holonomy. We show that for a smoothed count of closed geodesics on compact hyperbolic…
In this paper, we demonstrate the existence of the second moment of the Selberg zeta function for a Fuchsian group of the first kind at $\sigma = 1$. The prime geodesic theorem plays a crucial role in this context. The proof extends to…
We propose a definition for the length of closed geodesics in a globally hyperbolic maximal compact (GHMC) Anti-De Sitter manifold. We then prove that the number of closed geodesics of length less than $R$ grows exponentially fast with $R$…
In this note we prove that the Selberg zeta-function associated to a compact Riemann surface is pseudo-prime and right-prime in the sense of a decomposition.
