Abstract

Let Y1Y_1 be a compact arithmetic hyperbolic surface associated to a maximal quaternion order, let YqY_q be a cover associated to an Eichler suborder of prime level qq, and let ιq\iota_q be embedding of YqY_q as the Hecke correspondence into Y1×Y1Y_1 \times Y_1. Let μ1\mu_1 and μq\mu_q be the invariant probability measures on Y1Y_1 and YqY_q, respectively. If FF is a newform on YqY_q, we conjecture that the pushforward measure (ιq)(F2μq)(\iota_q)_\ast(\lvert F \rvert^2 \mu_q) converges weakly to the uniform measure μ1×μ1\mu_1 \times \mu_1, as qq tends to infinity. We prove this conjecture with an effective rate of equidistribution, assuming GRH.
