We prove the existence of infinitely many low-lying and fundamental closed geodesics on the modular surface which are reciprocal, that is, invariant under time reversal. The method combines ideas from Parts I and II of this series, namely…

Recall that two geodesics in a negatively curved surface $S$ are of the same type if their free homotopy classes differ by a homeomorphism of the surface. In this note we study the distribution in the unit tangent bundle of the geodesics of…

The existence of the limiting pair correlation for angles between reciprocal geodesics on the modular surface is established. An explicit formula is provided, which captures geometric information about the length of reciprocal geodesics, as…

We investigate how often geodesics have homology in a fixed set of the homology lattice of a compact Riemann surface. We prove that closed geodesics are equidistributed on any sets with asymptotic density with respect to a specific norm. We…

In this paper we study geodesics on adjoint orbits of $SL(n,\mathbb{R})$ equipped with $SO(n)$-invariant metrics (maximal compact subgroup). Our main technique is translate this problem into a geometric problem in the tangent bundle of…

We introduce a natural way of associating oriented closed geodesics on the modular curve to elements of $(\mathbb{Z}/q\mathbb{Z})^\times$ and prove that the corresponding packets associated to sufficiently large subgroups equidistribute in…

We consider an exhaustion of the modular orbifold by compact subsurfaces and show that the growth rate, in terms of word length, of the reciprocal geodesics on such subsurfaces (so named low lying reciprocal geodesics) converge to the…

We give an ergodic theoretic proof of a theorem of Duke about equidistribution of closed geodesics on the modular surface. The proof is closely related to the work of Yu. Linnik and B. Skubenko, who in particular proved this…

We use spectral method to prove a joint equidistribution of primitive rational points and the same along expanding horocycle orbits in the products of the circle and the unit cotangent bundle of the modular surface. This result explicates…

Quadric bundles on a compact Riemann surface X generalise orthogonal bundles and arise naturally in the study of the moduli space of representations of $\pi_1(X)$ in Sp(2n,R). We prove some basic results on the moduli spaces of quadric…

We describe the subracks of the conjugacy classes of $\mathrm{PSL}(2,q)$ based on Dickson's theorem on subgroups of $\mathrm{PSL}(2,q)$. All minimal non-abelian subracks of $\mathrm{PSL}(2,q)$ are determined. Further, we provide a general…

We estimate the asymptotic growth of reciprocal conjugacy classes in Hecke groups using their free product structure and word lengths of reciprocal elements. Our approach is different from other works in this direction and uses tools from…

A reciprocal geodesic on a (2,k, $\infty$) Hecke surface is a geodesic loop based at an even order cone point p traversing its path an even number of times. Associated to each reciprocal geodesic is the conjugacy class of a hyperbolic…

In the unit tangent bundle of noncompact finite volume negatively curved Riemannian manifolds, we prove the equidistribution towards the measure of maximal entropy for the geodesic flow of the Lebesgue measure along the divergent geodesic…

Let $M$ be a pinched negatively curved Riemannian orbifold, whose fundamental group has torsion of order $2$. Generalizing results of Sarnak and Erlandsson-Souto for constant curvature oriented surfaces, and with very different techniques,…

In this note we will present a supplement to Scholz's reciprocity law and discuss applications to the structure of 2-class groups of quadratic number fields.

We combine effective mixing and Duke's Theorem on closed geodesics on the modular surface to show that certain subcollections of the collection of geodesics with a given discriminant still equidistribute. These subcollections are only…

We describe the inverse image of the Riemannian exponential map at a basepoint of a compact symmetric space as the disjoint union of so called focal orbits through a maximal torus. These are orbits of a subgroup of the isotropy group acting…

We consider families of exponential sums indexed by a subgroup of invertible classes modulo some prime power $q$. For fixed $d$, we restrict to moduli $q$ so that there is a unique subgroup of invertible classes modulo $q$ of order $d$. We…
