A relative trace formula for a compact Riemann surface

Number Theory 2015-04-23 v1 Differential Geometry

Abstract

We study a relative trace formula for a compact Riemann surface with respect to a closed geodesic CC. This can be expressed as a relation between the period spectrum and the ortholength spectrum of CC. This provides a new proof of asymptotic results for both the periods of Laplacian eigenforms along CC as well estimates on the lengths of geodesic segments which start and end orthogonally on CC. Variant trace formulas also lead to several simultaneous nonvanishing results for different periods.
