It is well known that the quotient \(M=\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})/\mathrm{PRL}(2,\mathbb{Z})\) is homeomorphic to the complement of the trefoil knot in the \(3\)-sphere. \textit{É. Ghys} [in: Proceedings of the international congress of mathematicians (ICM), Madrid, Spain, August 22--30, 2006. Volume I: Plenary lectures and ceremonies. Zürich: European Mathematical Society (EMS). 247--277 (2007; Zbl 1125.37032)] observed that any hyperbolic matrix \(A\in \mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z})\) corresponds to a knot \(k_A\) in the trefoil complement. Furthermore, he showed that the linking number between the knot \(k_A\) and the trefoil knot is equal to a classical arithmetical invariant called the Rademacher function. The paper under review examines the statistical behavior of the linking numbers when the modular geodesics are ordered by their length.
