Abstract

Let ΓPSL2(R)\Gamma\subset\mathrm{PSL}_{2}(\mathbb{R}) be a Fuchsian subgroup of the first kind acting by fractional linear transformations on the upper half-plane H\mathbb{H}, and let M=Γ\HM=\Gamma\backslash\mathbb{H} be the associated finite volume hyperbolic Riemann surface. Associated to any cusp of MM, there is the classically studied non-holomorphic (parabolic) Eisenstein series. In 1979, Kudla and Millson studied non-holomorphic (hyperbolic) Eisenstein series associated to any closed geodesic on Γ\H\Gamma\backslash\mathbb{H}. In 2004, Jorgenson and Kramer introduced so-called elliptic Eisenstein series associated to any elliptic fixed point of MM. In the present article, we prove the meromorphic continuation of the elliptic Eisenstein series and we explicitly compute its poles and residues. Further, we derive a Kronecker limit type formula for elliptic Eisenstein series for general Γ\Gamma. Finally, for the full modular group PSL2(Z)\mathrm{PSL}_{2}(\mathbb{Z}), we give an explicit formula for the Kronecker's limit functions in terms of holomorphic modular forms.
